New York Giants keeping Darren Waller retirement discussion ‘in-house’

The 2024 NFL draft is two weeks away and the New York Giants are going through the motions to get ready. Day 1 of Phase One had a good turnout and there has been lots of quarterback discussion. But one thing that people are curious about is the status of tight end Darren Waller.

Earlier this year, Waller admitted that he wasn’t sure if he would retire or continue to play. The Giants have been pretty mum on the situation, which remains unchanged even today.

Daboll was asked if he expects Waller to attend any portion of the offseason program, but the Giants head coach didn’t have any answer for that and instead said he would keep things “in-house.”

“Understand the question, completely right, have nothing to add on that from what Joe talked about a couple of weeks ago in the ownership meeting. You know, again, I just go back to our attendance was, I was very happy and pleased with our attendance. In terms of Darren’s specific situation, I’m going to keep that in-house, I have nothing to add at this time.”

With New York last year, Waller had 52 receptions for 552 receiving yards, both ranking second on the team. He was a bright spot on an offense that was more than lackluster in 2023, so it stands to reason the Giants would love to have him back on the field.

But the Giants don’t make this decision, Waller does. So the rest of us just have to wait and see what happens when everyone is ready to talk about it.
