Jaxson Dart’s season is officially toast for the New York Giants, a brutal hit that immediately kicked off chatter about former NFL quarterback Derek Carr possibly making a comeback. But if you thought Carr was about to suit up for the G-Men, you’re gonna need to pump the brakes. Carr saw the fan edits of him in a Giants uniform circulating on X, and his response was definitely not what anyone expected.
Dart’s Devastating Blow to the Giants
This whole situation blew up after Jaxson Dart went down with a nasty knee injury during New York’s 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday. It was a rough game, and it just got a whole lot worse for the Giants. Dart is now facing season-ending surgery after doctors confirmed damage to his MCL, PCL, and meniscus. That’s a triple whammy, and it leaves the Giants in a seriously tough spot under center. When a starting QB goes down like that, especially with such severe damage, teams start scrambling for answers.
Derek Carr’s Digital Priority
Enter Derek Carr, the 35-year-old veteran who started 169 games over 11 seasons in the NFL before announcing his retirement in May 2025. With Dart out, the rumor mill fired up, and an edit of Carr in a Giants uniform started doing the rounds. You’d think a guy with that kind of experience, seeing a team in need, might at least consider it. Nope. Carr responded to the uniform edit on X by explaining his current focus: searching for a crew to join in NBA 2K27. Seriously. The dude is more worried about hitting the virtual hardwood than getting back on the actual gridiron.
So, while the Giants are reeling from losing their quarterback and a potential veteran fill-in is out here making it clear his priorities lie with video games, it means New York is going to have to look elsewhere. What a wild turn of events.
