US EditionGiants legend says he'd let Abdul Carter or Jaxson Dart wear his retired jersey number
- On April 25, 2025, former Giants quarterback Phil Simms expressed a willingness to allow Abdul Carter or Jaxson Dart to wear his retired No. 11 jersey during events in East Rutherford, NJ.
- The conversation followed Abdul Carter’s 2025 first-round draft selection and his attempt to wear Lawrence Taylor’s retired No. 56, which Taylor denied.
- Carter expressed excitement about wearing Simms’ number, and Simms shared that he and close contacts would welcome Carter wearing it, hoping Carter would 'help it a little and make it better.'
- Simms stated, 'I’ll let him have it in a second,' and Carter wrote on X that it would be an 'HONOR' to wear the number.
- If Carter or Dart requests Simms’ No. 11 jersey, Simms would likely approve, but with Taylor’s number off limits, Carter may need to continue searching for an alternate jersey.
