The hollow period of the NFL is not trivial and allows you to see some… unexpected transactions.
This is the case for Darren Waller (Te). The retired player since 2023 has agreed to return to the field provided that his franchise, the New York giants, the exchange of the dolphins of Miami. The management of the big apple has agreed and sent its Tight End and a 7e Draft 2027 Tour against a 6e Draft 2026 Tour on the Florida side, according to NFL Média.
Dolphins, Giants and Darren Waller, everyone is happy.
Very active during the 2025 offseason, with the exchange of Jalen Ramsey (CB) and Jonnu Smith (TE) for Minkah Fitzpatrick (s), Miami took the bull by the horns to find a replacement potentially credible in the post of Tight End. Especially in views of the draft amounts exchanged, the Floridian franchise takes very little risk for a capital gain which can quickly prove to be paid.
The giants are also happy to make such a montage for a player who had decided not to tread the lawns a year ago. Recover, even a tiny amount, for Darren Waller is already a victory.
Finally the player is also a winner. He joined the only team he wanted to play. His position is open to competition and he signs a new contract that can peak at $ 5 million. Darren Waller, 33 years old in September, has a long way to touch this jackpot but the veteran is strong of solid seasons in NFL. In 2020, he raised 1196 yards and 9 touchdowns. The rest was less flamboyant with many physical seeds. After a sabbatical year, freshness may be back.
