Handelsrygter omkring Kayvon Thibodeaux var fremherskende både før og under NFL-draften i år. Alligevel lykkedes det ikke at indgå en aftale, og edge rusheren forbliver hos New York Giants.
Rygterne tog fart kort før draftens anden runde, hvor det blev rapporteret, at Giants og Saints havde drøftet en mulig handel. Giants general manager Joe Schoen afviste dog på dagen, at der havde været samtaler om en handel med Thibodeaux. Senere rapporter tyder imidlertid på, at der alligevel var blevet ført forhandlinger.
Ifølge Dan Duggan fra The Athletic var Giants på udkig efter et draftvalg i anden runde for at afgive Thibodeaux. Saints' bedste tilbud lød imidlertid på et fjerde-rundes valg. Til sidst valgte New Orleans at trade et femte-rundes valg til Las Vegas Raiders for at hente edge rusheren Tyree Wilson.
Giants brugte sit femte-rundes valg på Arvell Reese og står nu med et defensivt lineup, der inkluderer Reese, Thibodeaux, Brian Burns og Abdul Carter. Med Thibodeaux fortsat i spillerstaben, bliver det en udfordring for trænerstaben at finde den optimale opstilling i de kommende måneder.
