Kayvon Thibodeaux

Giants GM Joe Schoen told reporters that the team will pick up LB Kayvon Thibodeaux’s fifth-year option.

The news comes shortly after the Giants drafted Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter, with Schoen adding, “you can’t have enough pass rushers.” Thibodeaux is now under contract through 2026. The Giants field a loaded pass-rush unit that also includes EDGE Brian Burns and DT Dexter Lawrence. Opposing passers will have a tough time staying clean on third down, or at least that’s the scenario that plays out in Schoen’s head.
