Giants rookie Abdul Carter says Jets knocking him down will be team's 'only highlight' this season
Abdul Carter may be a rookie, but the New York Giants edge rusher is a seasoned veteran when it comes to talking smack. Carter had what some may refer to as a "Welcome to the NFL" moment during the Giants' second preseason game of the year, as New York Jets tight end Stone Smartt uplifted him with a chip block during the second quarter on Saturday night. And if that wasn't enough, Jets right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor took advantage of the Penn State product being on the turf, as he continued to keep him there with a couple of shoves while play continued. The NFL posted the play on X, but Carter was quick to toss a quip at the Jets after seeing it himself. "Might be the only highlight of the Jets all season [down arrow emoji] and we put BTA. Weak a-chip ate that mf like bbq," Carter wrote on X. Some X users weren't fond of Carter's comments on the play, telling him it's only a preseason game and not to take it too hard. But Carter's confidence has never wavered, dating back to his Nittany Lions days. Since the Giants took him third overall in April, that has been quite apparent as he gears up for his rookie season. Despite this lowlight, it's been mainly highlights for Carter on the practice field as well as the two games he's played for New York this preseason. The Giants and Jets had joint practices this week leading up to the "Snoopy Bowl" at their MetLife Stadium shared home, and Carter was impressive along with his defensive line teammates, according to reports. Last week, Carter played only a handful of snaps against the Buffalo Bills, an AFC East rival of the Jets, where he created quarterback pressure on all three, per NextGen Stats. The Giants are hoping the consistent pressure that Carter showed at Penn State translates to the NFL level, and so far, it's looked that way. But Carter may have just created some tension between these two New York franchises that only play each other in the regular season every four years. They last played in the regular season in 2023, where the Jets beat the Giants, 13-10, in overtime. The Jets have won the last three matchups against the Giants, though Big Blue took the previous five against Gang Green. Carter and the Giants will have their final preseason matchup on Thursday night at home against the New England Patriots.

Giants rookie Abdul Carter trashes Jets in fiery post after rough preseason moment
Access the Giants like never before Get texts from Paul Schwartz with all the latest Giants news and insights, exclusive to Sports+ subscribers. tRY IT NOW Abdul Carter is already a professional trash-talker. The Giants certainly hope he'll be as good on the field after drafting him No. 3 overall this year, and while all the signs had been promising entering Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, the Snoopy Bowl showed the 21-year-old still has a learning curve.

Giants rookie Abdul Carter (51) reacts during a preseason game against the Jets on Aug. 16, 2025. Rich Barnes-Imagn Images The Giants rookie fired off a spicy tweet in response to the official NFL account's tweet featuring a video of the moment. 'Might be the only highlight of the Jets all season⬇️ and we put BTA. weak ass chip ate that mf like bbq,' Carter wrote.

X/NFL Advertisement Carter had three pass rushes against the Bills in Orchard Park and created a quarterback pressure on all three, according to NextGen Stats. While division rivalries rule in the NFL and the Giants and Jets don't play each other in meaningful games very often, perhaps Carter's comments will add some tension between the two teams. They last played a regular-season game in 2023, when the Jets won 13-10 in overtime for their third straight win over Big Blue. The Giants had won the previous five meetings.

Jets vs. Giants prediction: NFL preseason Week 2 picks, best bets for the Snoopy Bowl
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Why not bet on the Snoopy Bowl? It's the 2025 NFL preseason, and this is perhaps the biggest one we'll have on the calendar. The Giants are strong favorites to win for a preseason game, coming in at -195 odds on BetMGM with the spread sitting at 3.5 points. The Jets initially opened as -1.5 point favorites, but the line moved four points in the Giants' direction. There aren't too many options in the prop markets, though Justin Fields could get some reps, and there are some markets related to the quarterback on FanDuel. Fields is +500 on FanDuel to throw a touchdown pass, while Garrett Wilson is 14/1 to score his team's first touchdown. Wilson is highly unlikely to play more than one drive in this game. The same goes for Breece Hall, who is +850 to score the game's first touchdown. We could see plenty of the Jets starters in the Snoopy Bowl. Getty Images Jets vs. Giants prediction The Giants have lost this matchup four straight times, losing 13-10 last season. In their first preseason game, Jaxson Dart put on a show as the Giants scored 34 points in a win over the Bills. It certainly seems like the Giants have had a strong preseason and have far superior quarterback depth, with Dart expected to play plenty, along with Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. If you're looking for action, the Giants are the play. Betting on the NFL? By most accounts, the Giants' defensive front ate the Jets up in joint practices earlier this month. If the Giants' defensive line is that dominant, the Jets are sure to be in trouble. PICK: Giants -3.5 (-110, BetMGM) Why Trust New York Post Betting Erich Richter is a brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt but he has a black belt in MMA betting. During the football season he's showcased massive profits at The Post in the player prop market the last two seasons.
