Giants trade for TE Waller

Big weapon for D. Jones.

I was not a huge fan of the Hockenson trade, but Lions got more for him than the Raiders got for Waller. I think I was way off on TE value.

Steal for the Giants.

Raiders keep doing Raider things

Its going to be interesting to see what he does with a real coach. Assuming he can stay healthy.

McDaniels loves trading good players for mid picks. It’s kinda his thing.

Very few TE's generate much any value. With that being said Waller is a good guy to bet on a bounceback from. Good move for the Giants as they rebuild their passcatchers.

I wonder if they mentioned this to Garafalo before signing him?

It’s typically written as “FTR.” You can see it often on the Broncos subreddit.

Damn! He immediately becomes the 2nd best TE in the division. Roseman better sign CJGJ ASAP.

This is a great move for the Giants. Jones needs a reliable target

 

[Cyder]

He's missed a lot of games the last 2 years. If he stays healthy it's a solid move but if not......

He can keep Jimmy company in the training room.

D.Adams staring at all the people leaving & thinking WTF! LOL

For the first time in his career he is the best TE in his division.

Yeah, the Raiders should rename the MRI machine in Las Vegas after Jimmy so he'll feel at home.

Giants acquired TE Darren Waller from the Raiders in exchange for the 100th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.​

After laying low on the first day of free agency, the Giant came through with a splash on Day 2 when they acquired Waller from the Raiders in exchange for the 100th overall pick, which was acquired from the Chiefs in the Kadarius Toney trade. Waller burst on the scene with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2019 and 2020 but has totaled just 83-1053-5 in 20 games over the last two seasons. Waller is one of the best receiving tight ends in the league when healthy, but staying on the field has proved challenging for the soon-to-be 31-year-old tight end. Still, Waller would have been the best pass-catching option on the Giants last season and is an immediate upgrade for the offense
