Harbaugh was asked by The Athletic's Dan Duggan whether Thibodeaux could be a potential trade candidate as the Giants continue shaping their roster this offseason. The coach initially emphasized his focus on Thibodeaux's role on the field.
"I think he's a great player. I'm excited about it. I was fired up to see him today. He looks great, he's in great shape. I'm thinking about on the field – I'm thinking about getting him plugged into our defense and getting him rolling."
Harbaugh then addressed the broader topic of trade possibilities with a humorous response .
"You want to talk about if he's a trade possibility? Everybody is tradeable. Everybody, even you're tradeable, Dan. If we could get something for you, we'd trade you in a heartbeat, man," Harbaugh said, laughing.

Despite the joke, Harbaugh reiterated that personnel decisions are not the primary focus during early offseason activities as the team works to establish continuity and build chemistry.

"It's not really what you focus on. You focus on the fact that we're having a day. We're talking ball… we're coming together as a team and the business part of it is the business part. It kind of swirls around us but we try to lock in on the football."
Thibodeaux remains a key defensive piece for the Giants, and Harbaugh's comments reflect confidence in integrating him into the team's system. The organization is entering a critical offseason following a 4-13 campaign in 2025 , with an emphasis on development and roster stability.
As speculation continues across the league, Harbaugh's remarks underscored a balance between acknowledging the realities of the business side of the NFL and maintaining a focus on on-field preparation.
