Thibodeaux Trade Saga Heats Up as Abdul Carter’s Fate Hangs in the Balance!
Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter is one of the top prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft and has visits scheduled with four teams holding top-four picks: the Titans, Browns, Giants, and Patriots. While each team has a reason to consider him, the Giants seem the least likely to draft him, given their pressing need for a quarterback. However, if they do select Carter, it could cast doubt on the future of current edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Rumors suggest that Thibodeaux could be a trade target for the Carolina Panthers, who are looking to strengthen their defense. A potential deal involving Thibodeaux could give the Giants additional draft assets, possibly setting them up to acquire a quarterback in 2026. However, keeping Thibodeaux and pairing him with Carter and Brian Burns could also be a viable strategy, ensuring the Giants maintain a surplus of defensive talent rather than letting key players go.
