Darren Waller Retires

[Stewie]

I guess he's banking on his career in the music biz.

Per Rapoport:

Sources: Giants TE Darren Waller has informed the team he plans to retire, walking away at the age of 31 after just one season with NYG.

Waller hasn’t attended workouts, and the team had known for some time he may not play. Now, he’s officially let them know before minicamp.

What a waste of an NFL franchise. Raiders....where careers go to die!

Well, he wouldn't have had a career without the Raiders. He was wasting away on the Ravens' practice squad.

This was a long time coming. He milked a hamstring injury in 2021. I am not surprised.

A great talent who walked through hell and saw everything fall apart. Then one day he gets spotted by Gruden warming up for the Ravens and the rest is history. Imo on his best day he could dominate games like Travis, Gronk and Kittle. Sadly he never got to play with decent QB's.

I hope he continues doing his music and if he's smart he'll fight to get his wife back. Now he's retired he probably has a better chance as she was balling in vegas when he was in New York.
