In a surprising trade last year, the New York Giants acquired Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2023 third-round pick. However, recent reports suggest that Waller is still undecided about his future in the NFL.

The nine-year veteran has yet to make a firm decision on whether he will continue playing or retire. Waller, in an interview with the New York Post, stated that he has not reached a conclusion regarding his future plans.

The Giants brought Waller on board last season to provide quarterback Daniel Jones with a reliable target in the passing game. Unfortunately, both Waller and the rest of the Giants' offense struggled throughout the season.

During his first year with the Giants, Waller managed to compile 52 receptions for 552 yards receiving and a lone touchdown. This touchdown came in a Week 7 victory over the Washington Commanders, where the Giants secured a 14-7 win. However, injuries plagued Waller's season as he suffered a hamstring injury in Week 8, which resulted in him being placed on injured reserve on November 4.

If Waller decides to return to the Giants, his cap hit for the upcoming season will be $14 million. It's worth noting that there is no remaining guaranteed money on his current deal, which is a three-year $51 million contract he signed with the Raiders in September of 2022.

The uncertainty surrounding Waller's future leaves the Giants in a difficult position. They were hopeful that Waller's presence would elevate their offense, but the struggles of last season and his indecisiveness about his playing career creates uncertainty moving forward.

As Waller ponders his decision, fans and the Giants organization eagerly await his final word. Will he retire or make a comeback for the 2024 season? Only time will tell as Waller weighs the pros and cons of his future in the NFL.
