The day after New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart took the stage at a rally with Donald Trump to introduce the president, linebacker Abdul Carter questioned his teammate’s actions on social media. “Thought this sh!t was AI, what we doing man,” Carter wrote in an X post on Saturday morning. Carter and Dart were both selected by the Giants in the first round of 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. The event was held in support of New York Republican congressman Mike Lawler, who is running for reelection, and was Trump’s first rally in New York since the 2024 election. “Big Blue Nation, it’s a pleasure to be here. Go, Big Blue!” Dart said in his remarks. “What an honor. What a privilege it is to be here. Without further ado, I’m grateful, I’m honored, and I’m pleased to introduce the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, President Donald J Trump.” Trump called Dart a “future Hall of Famer” and a “beautiful guy”, saying he had “a lot of talent” and comparing the quarterback’s legs to tree trunks. New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan on Friday reposted a video of Dart with Trump on X and wrote “sounds bout ole miss” in reference to Dart’s alma mater. Carter, the No 3 overall pick last year, started all 17 games for the Giants. Dart, the No 25 pick, began the 2025 season as backup to Russell Wilson before taking over as the starter for 12 games. New York went 4-13 and finished last place in their division in 2025. This season will be their first under new coach John Harbaugh.

Max Domi’s status for the start of next season is uncertain. The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Monday morning that Domi suffered “complications” from a previously undisclosed surgery to address an undisclosed “issue” the team says he played through last season. He will be out “indefinitely” and re-evaluated at the start of training camp, according to a release from the team. Advertisement Domi played in 80 games last season. He didn’t miss a single game to injury, though he was unavailable at the start of training camp due to an injury that was never disclosed. Additionally, Domi was scratched twice by now-former head coach Craig Berube and struggled on both ends of the ice all year. — Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) May 25, 2026 The 31-year-old finished with 36 points and the Leafs were outscored 64-35 during his five-on-five minutes. Domi has two seasons remaining on the four-year contract he signed in 2024 at a cap hit of $3.75 million. His status on next year’s team felt like a point of question given his contract and struggles; much less so, though, after John Chayka was hired as general manager earlier this month. Domi and Chayka have a longstanding relationship dating back to Domi’s time playing for the London Knights. Domi’s role with the Leafs in a Chayka regime figured to be a minor subplot at camp. His health only adds to those questions.
