New York Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux has been thrown into another trade rumor as Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft is underway.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported before Day 2 kicked off that the Giants are willing to listen to offers for Thibodeaux, with the New Orleans Saints showing heavy interest.

"Sources: The #Giants have engaged in trade conversations involving DE Kayvon Thibodeaux, and the #Saints are among the teams showing strong interest," Schultz said.

"If a deal happens, it could be as soon as tonight. Giants have been open to listening."

Thibodeaux has been in trade rumors for the entire offseason, and trading him would make sense for New York. However, it sounds like the Giants have no plans to deal the 25-year-old defender.

Joe Schoen shuts down Thibodeaux trade rumor

During a press conference after their Round 2 selection of Tennessee cornerback Colton Hood, Giants general manager Joe Schoen said the team hasn't had any trade conversations surrounding Thibodeaux on Friday, completely shutting down Schultz's report.

"There's no truth to that," Schoen said via Pat Leonard of the NY Daily News Sports. "We have not had any conversations today about Kayvon [Thibodeaux]. That's not true."
