New York Giants linebacker Abdul Carter has clarified that he and teammate Jaxson Dart have resolved their differences after Carter initially criticised Dart for appearing at a rally with former President Donald Trump.
On Saturday morning, Carter posted on X: 'Thought this sh!t was AI, what we doing man,' seemingly questioning Dart's decision to introduce Trump at a rally on Friday at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York. The event supported Republican congressman Mike Lawler.
However, later that evening, Carter wrote: 'Me & JD6 are good! We spoke earlier as Men. Yall can keep yall narratives.' Dart, the Giants' quarterback, had introduced Trump, calling him 'the 45th and 47th President of the United States'. Trump praised Dart as a 'future Hall of Famer'.
Other players also weighed in. New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan reposted the video with 'sounds bout ole miss', referencing Dart's college. Giants offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor defended the locker room, writing: 'Locker room is fine. Focus on New England.'
Both Carter and Dart were first-round picks in the 2025 NFL draft. Carter played all 17 games last season, while Dart started 12 games after Russell Wilson. The Giants finished 4-13 in 2025 and are now under new coach John Harbaugh.
