Giants' Brian Daboll reveals what Abdul Carter couldn't stop talking about for 3 days
As year four of the Joe Schoen/ Brian Daboll approaches for the New York Giants, the expectations are sky high. In spite of the team's struggles since their 2022 playoff berth, Schoen and Daboll have been given another chance at bringing the Giants back to respectability. Their first selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, edge rusher Abdul Carter, is one of the many new pieces the team has added in hopes of improving in 2025. Daboll discussed how excited Carter was for the team to put pads on the Up and Adams Show. Host Kay Adams posted the exchange on X (formerly Twitter).
''Abdul's been talking about it for the last THREE days,'' posted Adams on the social media platform. '@Giants HC Brian Daboll say rookie Abdul Carter could NOT wait to get the pads on today. Look out, NFL.'
Daboll and Schoen surely hope that Carter teams with veteran edge rusher Brian Burns and the rest of the defensive line to cause havoc for opposing offenses. There's a reason why the Giants selected Carter third overall despite health questions involving his foot: his potential could make him one of the best pass rushers in football today. Learning the craft alongside a star veteran like Burns could lead to a big rookie season for Carter. If that happens, can New York get back onto a postseason trajectory.
Giants hope Abdul Carter has big impact in rookie season
The fact that Carter is this excited to start hitting is something that the Giants brass should certainly be excited about. Attitude is always a big factor on if a new addition, like a rookie such as the former Penn State star, will succeed or not. Early reports since he's joined the team have been nothing but positive thus far though, including today's take from Daboll.
Players with an attitude like Carter's are always beneficial to the chemistry of a team. Schoen and Daboll focused on adding character to the team, which is seen with Carter. The trio of new quarterbacks acquired (rookie Jaxson Dart plus veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston) have all been considered high character as well. Can these new players help infuse New York with a winning attitude once again?

Bengals-Cowboys trade pitch swaps All-Pro edge rushers in unprecedented move
The Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys could swap superstar edge rushers in an unprecedented NFL move. Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox proposes a trade that would send Trey Hendrickson to the Cowboys and Micah Parsons to the Bengals. Along with Hendrickson, Knox also has Cincinnati sending a 2026 first-round pick, a 2026 second-round pick, and two 2026 third-round picks to Dallas. The Bengals don't want to commit to a 30-year-old defender long-term on a top-of-the-market deal, but they might feel differently about committing to a 26-year-old perennial Pro Bowler. Spending big to acquire a star and then locking him up isn't the sort of move the Bengals typically make. If these really aren't the "same old Bengals," though, it's a move they should. Adding Parsons to a core that includes Burrow, Chase and Higgins would help ensure Cincinnati is a perennial threat. Pairing Parsons with rookie first-round pick Shemar Stewart would also help ensure the Bengals have a quality pass rush for the foreseeable future. Hendrickson and Parsons are both unhappy with their franchises due to their contract situations. The Bengals haven't shown a full commitment to getting a deal done with Hendrickson. Though the 30-year-old pass rusher has reported to camp, Cincinnati is nowhere closer to signing him to a long-term contract, and Hendrickson has already stated that he won't play under his current deal in 2025. As for Parsons, the 26-year-old requested a trade from the Cowboys on Friday due to the franchise's lack of consistent communication on a contract extension this offseason. Though Dallas has no intentions of moving Parsons, the relationship between the two looks to be completely destroyed. Swapping disgruntled All-Pro players would be a bold move by the Bengals and Cowboys, but it could make sense for both teams. Adding Hendrickson to replace Parsons would save Dallas a bit of money, and the veteran pass rusher has posted two straight seasons with 17.5 sacks, so he would immediately step in as a dominant force on Mike Zimmer's defense. The Bengals could be looking to get younger at edge rusher, so pairing Parsons with Shemar Stewart would complete that task. Cincinnati could also be more willing to pay Parsons a lucrative contract due to him being nearly five years younger than Hendrickson. Obviously, this trade has a low chance of happening, but it would be a blockbuster transaction that changes the landscape of the league.
