Projected salary and signing bonus for New York Giants draft pick Kayvon Thibodeaux
Perhaps Las Vegas is the appropriate place to hold the NFL draft with all the money these draft picks are about to sign for, including Oregon’s own Kayvon Thibodeaux.
The New York Giants just selected the former Ducks defensive end as the No. 5 pick of the 2022 draft. Thibodeaux will sign a guaranteed four-year contract. The exact terms haven’t been disclosed yet, but if it’s comparable to what last year’s selection at the same spot made, Thibodeaux’s bank account just got a lot bigger.
Last season, the No. 5 pick was wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals. He signed for a total of just over $31.1 million with a signing bonus of almost $17.8 million. Chase’s rookie salary was just over $5.6 million.
Per OverTheCap, Thibodeaux can expect to see even more than Chase did a year ago.
Thibodeaux’s four-year contract, with a fifth-year club option, is projected to be worth $36,206,254 with a $23,511,820 signing bonus per OverTheCap

The salary is one thing, but none of that takes into account the endorsement deals that Thibodeaux will be able to land in the Big Apple, a market that is among the most lucrative in the entire world.
