Last season, the New York Giants once again struggled to find their footing, and their playoff hopes were dashed early. The Big Appleās team will look to contend once more in the NFC East, and Kayvon Thibodeaux has warned their NFL rivals that a new version of this team will soon be on display.
āThe best thing I can do for myself is just continue to climb that mountain,ā Thibodeaux stated via the New York Postās Paul Schwartz. āDefinitely not disappointed, definitely not sad or anything like that. Just super energized and hungry for the continuous opportunities Iām blessed with, and hopefully I have enough clarity and understanding to maximize it.ā
The last campaign relegated the Giants to fourth place in their division, with three wins and fourteen losses. Additionally, the talented linebacker will need to resolve his future with the franchise, as he is now eligible to have his fifth-year option picked up, which is projected to be worth $16.5 million.
āSuper excited, man, love the Giants,ā he said. āObviously, I hope I can continue to be here. The futureās in their hands, obviously, but Iām super excited. I think Iāve put decent film out. I wonāt say itās my best, I wonāt say itās my worst. But I know the ceiling is a lot higher. Super excited for this year, regardless of what happens, Iām just going to keep putting my best foot forward and attacking that Gold Jacket and Super Bowl mentality.ā

Who will be the Giantsā new QB?
One of the most talked-about topics in the franchise over the past few months has undoubtedly been the vacancy at quarterback following the unexpected departure of Daniel Jones. Drew Lock was the one who ultimately took over the reins for Brian Dabollās team, but moving forward, the outlook is likely to be different.
What the franchise is considering is the following question: will they bet on selecting a QB in the upcoming NFL Draft, or will they instead pursue an experienced player in the much-anticipated free agency?
If we consider the first option, names like Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward, or Jalen Milroe are among the top prospects who could be selected within the first picks. On the other hand, many speculate that the Giants may finally break the market and bring in an experienced QB, preferably a Super Bowl winner, in order to change the course in the short term.
