Darren Waller Trade

Giants Acquire Tight End Darren Waller in Trade with Raiders

Breaking News:

The New York Giants have made a significant move to bolster their offense, acquiring tight end Darren Waller from the Las Vegas Raiders in a trade, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Raiders will receive a 2023 third-round draft pick (100th overall) in exchange for Waller.

Unexpected Move:

The trade came as a surprise, as Waller had only recently returned home from his honeymoon. On Tuesday night, he arrived in New Jersey after the Raiders' general manager informed him of the trade.

Significant Acquisition:

Waller is considered one of the top tight ends in the NFL, and his addition will provide a significant weapon for Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. The Giants are hoping that Waller's presence will help improve Jones's accuracy and efficiency in the passing game.

Details of the Trade:

The trade was relatively straightforward. The Giants gave up a late third-round draft pick for Waller. The Raiders are expected to use the pick to address other areas of need on their roster.
