Abdul Carter’s new Giants jersey number revealed
NY Post
What is there about Giants edger ushers and their fixation with single-digit jersey numbers?
New to this trend is Abdul Carter, who after a rookie season wearing No. 51 has announced that he is now No. 3, a number worn in 2025 by quarterback Russell Wilson.
The trio of Giants pass rushers are now quite a sight, with Brian Burns (No. 0), Kayvon Thibodeaux (No. 5) and now Carter soon to be in single-digit attire.
This is not the first time Carter and his uniform number created a buzz. Before he played a game in the NFL, Carter revealed he wanted to wear No. 56 — retired for the one and only Lawrence Taylor — but that plan went awry when Taylor declined to give his blessing. Carter then sought to wear No. 11 — his number at Penn State — but that number was retired for Phil Simms and Simms’ family did not agree to allow Carter to wear it.
There were few single-digit options for Carter. Wide receiver Malik Nabers did get permission from the family of Ray Flaherty to wear No. 1. No. 2 is worn, for now, by cornerback Deonte Banks. No. 4 (Tuffy Leemans) and No. 7 (Mel Hein) are both retired by the Giants.
No. 3 is fitting for Carter, as he was the third pick in the 2025 draft.
Karl-Anthony Towns has not been shy about letting it be known that he believes he is sacrificing for the team.
The first few waves of free agency have come and gone. It feels like a good time to check in on what the Jets have done and what still needs to be done.
TORONTO — To understand what Tuesday was like for Matthew Schaefer, don’t start with the scene at his stall after morning skate, with Toronto media packed around him, but 20 minutes later in a corner of Scotiabank Arena.
Lamar Odom pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to the criminal charges he was hit with following his January run-in with cops in Nevada.
With the World Baseball Classic final tied in the top of the ninth inning Tuesday, Team USA manager Mark DeRosa did not bring in one of the game’s best relief pitchers and it ultimately cost them the game.
The whirlwind of the first few days of NFL free agency came and went last week, and the Giants played their part in adding to the player movement frenzy.
The playoffs are exactly a month away, and it’s a good time to send a reminder that rotations will be tightened.

TAMPA — You can make it about just one inning. Or that it still will only be March 18. Or about the miles left to go.
John Harbaugh could have looked at two offensive linemen the Giants selected in the 2022 draft, reviewed their performance on the field the past four years, said “No thanks,’’ and no one would have given him a hard time about it.
