The Giants and Raiders have agreed on a huge trade that sends Darren Waller to the Big Apple, according to published reports. Las Vegas will get the compensatory third-round pick the Giants received in the Kadarius Toney trade in return for the 30-year-old tight end, and Waller gets a new start in New York.
The trade is a good one for Waller, as the Giants lack big-time playmakers in the passing game. The team dumped free-agent dud Kenny Golladay, leaving them with Isaiah Hodgins, Wan’Dale Robinson and newly re-signed Sterling Shepard as their best receivers. The G-Men do have a boatload of draft picks and will look to add a wideout or two, but at this point you can argue Waller is the best bet to lead the team in targets.
