New York picking up Thibodeaux's fifth-year option comes after an NFL executive told The Athletic's Jeff Howe that the Giants could trade the edge-rusher for a third-round pick if they select Carter in this year's draft. The Giants selected Thibodeaux out of the University of Oregon with the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

The New York Giants are among the most interesting teams entering the 2025 NFL draft, which starts at 8 p.m. ET.

NFL Draft is fast approaching, and while most believe the first pick is essentially a done deal, with the Tennessee Titans zeroed in on Miami quarterback Cam Ward, it's possible the rest of Round 1 could be shaken up by multiple trades.
