To pay $87 million, or not to pay $87 million, that is the question. New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen has a pretty major decision coming up on fourth-year pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux. Assuming the 24-year-old isn’t moved before the trade deadline, that is.
Earlier in the offseason, the G-Men picked up Thibs’ fifth-year option. The move came immediately after they selected rookie outside linebacker Abdul Carter third overall. While it might have been largely viewed as an attempt to keep KT on the team a bit longer, the opposite side suggested that buying into another guaranteed year on his rookie deal might make him a more valuable trade asset.
