New York Giants Gossip
Listeners, the New York Giants season might be a disaster in the standings, but behind the scenes, it’s pure must-watch drama.
Start with rookie pass rusher Abdul Carter, the No. 3 overall pick who’s been benched twice in three weeks for disciplinary reasons. Giants legend Lawrence Taylor sounded off on Giants Now, blasting Carter for missed meetings and warning that the team “can’t do this anymore” with their supposed cornerstone edge rusher. An anonymous source close to the team whispers that some veterans are “fed up with babysitting” and that the locker room is split between those who want Carter humbled and those who think the coaches are “using him as a scapegoat.”
Then there’s the Jaxson Dart saga. According to Heavy.com, Dart has already been evaluated for four concussions this season and just took a brutal shot against the Patriots that sparked a mini-brawl. Tight end Theo Johnson was fined for going after the defender, and one person close to the offense says there’s “quiet frustration” that Dart refuses to slide, while some coaches privately wonder if his style is “torpedoing the season and his career.” Another voice around the building claims a few linemen are “tired of being blamed when the quarterback is the one inviting hits.”
The drama doesn’t stop there. NFL.com and other outlets have detailed how Carter’s benching has become a full-blown storyline, with captain Dexter Lawrence calling him “hard-headed” and basically telling him to grow up. A source around the defense insists that meeting-room blowups between coaches and certain young players have become “a weekly occurrence,” and that one heated exchange recently “came close to crossing the line.”
And how about the sideshow with injured rookie Cam Skattebo? He showed up in a WWE angle on Monday Night Raw while recovering from a season-ending ankle injury, drawing backlash from Giants fans before CM Punk fired back and called them “stupid Giants fans” during a Barstool Yak appearance. A person familiar with team thinking says some inside the building “didn’t love the optics,” even if interim coach Mike Kafka brushed it off publicly.
Whispers are growing louder that, with a 2-11 record and Brian Daboll already fired, no one’s job is safe. One league source suggests the front office is “internally debating” whether to dangle a young defensive star in trade talks to stockpile picks, while another hinting voice says a surprise change at quarterback “could come sooner than people think” if Dart’s health or play slips again.
And according to multiple insiders, there’s one more shocker brewing in East Rutherford that could reshape the entire power structure of the franchise… but that’s a story for tomorrow.
