Current New York Giants Trade Candidates
Tracking the reported trade candidates for the New York Giants, including cash remaining if traded today and at the trade deadline.
| Player | Team | Pos | Age | 2026 CAP HIT | 2026 DEAD CAP If Traded | 2026 CAP HIT New Team | Acquired Contract Contract w/ New Team | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dexter Lawrence |
|
DL | 29 | $26,958,130 | $13,916,260 | $20,000,000 |
New Contract
|
Lawrence has expressed his frustration regarding the lack of success and a few more personal matters this season, which could signal a need for a change of scenery in the not too distant future. None of the 2 years, $39.5M remaining on his contract is fully guaranteed, and the Giants would take on a tolerable $14M dead cap charge to trade him before the upcoming 2026 draft. |
| Kayvon Thibodeaux |
|
ED | 26 | $14,751,000 | $0 | $14,751,000 |
New Contract
|
The 2022 #5 overall pick was mentioned at the trade deadline this past November, but nothing formally materialized. That could change this offseason as the Giants look to roll over into a new era. Thibodeaux’s $14.7M option salary is already fully guaranteed in 2026, and would all transfer to a new team per a trade (leaving behind no dead cap). The 24-year-old projects toward a 4 year, $83M extension in our system. Abdul Carter’s shaky debut season could impact this decisio |
| Deonte Banks |
|
CB | 25 | $4,320,716 | $1,718,981 | $2,601,735 |
New Contract
|
The 2023 1st-rounder has seen his snap counts decrease annually, putting the future status of the 24-year-old in question. Banks is fully guaranteed $2.6M in 2026, while the Giants (or an acquiring team) will almost certainly decline a looming 5th-year option for 2027. NY would free up that $2.6M in cap space by trading Banks this offseason. |
