Abdul Carter, the No. 3 overall pick from Penn State, has officially signed a lucrative four-year contract worth $45,255,180 with the New York Giants. Transitioning from linebacker to defensive end, Carter had an impressive season, tallying 12 sacks and 24 tackles for loss. His addition further strengthens a Giants defensive line that includes notable players like Kayvon Thibodeaux, Brian Burns, and Dexter Lawrence II.

Brian Daboll, head coach of the Giants, will be counting on this revamped defense to help the team rebound from a disappointing last-place finish in the NFC East in 2024. Notably, Brian Burns played a pivotal role in structuring his contract to secure Carter's signing, showcasing the collaborative environment within the team.
