A Steal! Giants Trade for Star TE - jj22 - 03-14-2023
Now this is a move I wish they'd be more willing to consider. He was 30 (but so is Hurst) and I'm not sure about his contract.

Edit: He's due 11m I believe I am reading.

They're going to go re-sign Foster M. Good move.

Is he a star? The dude started his career doing nothing. He then had two good years (2019 and 2020). He's only played 20 games the last two seasons. It's a gamble by the Giants he can recapture his two peak seasons.

Waller signed an extended deal with the Raiders in Sept of '22.

Darren Waller’s agent Drew Rosenhaus - who worked with Robert Bailey on it - added about Darren Waller’s extension, “It is very rare for a 30-year old player with two years left on his contract to get a new deal.” Waller now tied to the Raiders for five years and $66.25 million.

Yea they did it without a big signing bonus too and used Roster and Workout Bonuses instead. That means a team that trades for him the cap doesn't really drop because those bonuses are still in his contract.

Too much money for an injury prone TE in my opinion...

Yes, he's only played 20 games the last two seasons.
