Overview

• Analyst Marc Ross calls Abdul Carter the most talented pass rusher since Micah Parsons, creating a ‘pick-your-poison’ matchup dilemma for opponents.
• Ross predicts Carter’s arrival will free up two-time Pro Bowler Brian Burns to eclipse double-digit sacks in 2025.
• Burns recorded 8.5 sacks and 71 tackles last season after a trade from Carolina and is under a five-year, $141 million extension.
• Veteran Brian Burns says a second year in the scheme has deepened his understanding, allowing faster play and potential use from multiple spots.
• With Carter joining Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dexter Lawrence, analysts project New York’s defensive front to rank among the most disruptive units in the league.
