NFL ace Darren Waller was traded to the New York Giants - and his WNBA star wife Kelsey Plum believes it was because Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels was not invited to their wedding.
On Tuesday, Waller was traded from the Raiders to the Giants in a blockbuster move - but it ultimately has repercussions on the tight end’s marriage. WNBA guard Plum plays for the reigning champion Las Vegas Aces and the pair had just tied the knot in an intimate ceremony earlier this month.
Following news of the trade, former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III took to social media to suggest McDaniels sanctioned the move as a wedding present to the happy couple. He wrote: “Darren Waller JUST GOT MARRIED to Kelsey Plum of the Las Vegas Aces and Josh McDaniels’ wedding present was to trade him to the New York Giants. McDaniels is NOT a romantic.”
