New York Giants teammates Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart have resolved a public disagreement that erupted after Dart introduced former President Donald Trump at a rally. Carter, a linebacker, had questioned Dart's appearance at the event in a now-deleted social media post on Saturday morning.
“Thought this sh!t was AI, what we doing man,” Carter wrote on X. However, later that day he posted again: “Me & JD6 are good! We spoke earlier as Men. Yall can keep yall narratives.” The two were both first-round picks by the Giants in the 2025 NFL draft and played together last season.
Dart introduced Trump at a rally on Friday at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York, in support of Republican congressman Mike Lawler. During his remarks, Dart said, “Big Blue Nation, it’s a pleasure to be here. Go, Big Blue!” Trump praised the quarterback, calling him a “future Hall of Famer” with “a lot of talent.”
The incident drew reactions from other NFL players, including New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan, who reposted a video of Dart with Trump and wrote “sounds bout ole miss.” Giants offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor also weighed in on Saturday, posting, “Locker room is fine. Focus on New England.”
Carter played all 17 games for the Giants last season, while Dart started 12 games after beginning as backup to Russell Wilson. The Giants finished 4-13 and last in their division in 2025, and will enter this season under new head coach John Harbaugh.
