“We spoke earlier as Men. Yall can keep yall narratives,” Carter .

Meanwhile, another of Dart’s teammates came to his defense over wild claims that have circulated online for a year. Wide receiver Darius Slayton responded to a made by former NFL player Aqib Talib, who said on a podcast that Dart uses the N-word. Talib was referring to a viral video from 2025 where Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. prank calls his teammates to jokingly tell them “good night.”
