This offseason, there has been an unsettling lack of discussion about Darren Waller’s contract situation. He has two years left on his current deal, but zero guaranteed money, which would usually suggest he is due for a restructure or an extension. And yet, all the attention seems to be paid to an extension for Hunter Renfrow.
Take this answer from Derek Carr about structuring his deal to allow for others to be signed.
“Tim [Younger], my agent, myself and the team, we made sure guys like Chandler [Jones], guys like Davante [Adams], guys like hopefully Hunter [Renfrow] and Foster [Moreau] and those guys can stay here the way we structured it. I went through a heartbreak already last time I signed my contract, my best friend left (Khalil Mack) and I didn’t want that to ever happen again.
And so, this was an opportunity for me to prove to the team, to the organization, to our fans that the way we’re going to structure this is so that we can keep everybody together and really, really have real continuity, really have something to build on. And so, for me, it was like, how do we do that?”
