ESPN is reporting that New York Giants tight end Darren Waller is expected to announce his retirement from the NFL before the Giants hold their mandatory mini-camp June 11-12, which is next week.
We wrote over the weekend that a decision on Waller’ status should be forthcoming soon since June 1 had passed, enhancing the cap savings the Giants would get from either cutting Waller or via his retirement.
If Waller, acquired by the Giants via trade last season, retires or is cut the Giants will save $11.625 million against the salary cap.
