Darren Waller’s Agent Reveals Past Trade Pursuit From Patriots Rival

The New York Giants made an aggressive move this offseason when they traded for tight end Darren Waller, but the former Raiders star almost joined a New England Patriots rival.

Las Vegas dealt the 30-year-old Pro Bowler for a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The pass-catcher market was an unremarkable one, and New York knew it had to make a move to help out Daniel Jones, who signed a huge extension.

The move was an awkward one since Waller recently married Las Vegas Aces guard Kelsey Plum prior to the trade, which sparked a hilarious reaction from the WNBA star.
