Giants rookie Abdul Carter was not happy with Denver Broncos OLB Jonathan Cooper taking a shot at his quarterback, Jaxson Dart. During Wednesday’s media availability, Cooper, who signed a four-year extension worth $60 million last year in November, shared his honest thoughts on the rookie quarterback ahead of their Week 7 clash.
“I mean, he (Jaxson Dart) is a youg guy who’s feeling himself a little bit,” Cooper said. “He’s out there running around, he’s got a chain on, he’s dancing. You know, I feel like everybody needs something. But we went against QBs with ran-out pockets and have, you know, try to do stuff with their legs. So, ain’t nothing we haven’t seen.”
Abdul Carter responded to this with a five-word warning for the Broncos linebacker while defending his quarterback and his performance on the field.
“put ya 3D glasses on,” Carter tweeted on X.
