Giants Rumors: Darren Waller Considered Trade from Raiders a 'Breath of Fresh Air'

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller is reportedly excited about a fresh start in the Big Apple after the Las Vegas Raiders traded him in March.

ESPN's Jordan Raanan described how Waller went from inking a $51 million extension with the Raiders in September to being dealt six months later.

"Waller is excited for a fresh start in the NFL's largest market," Raanan wrote. "A 'breath of fresh air,' as one source close to Waller explained."

The Raiders found themselves under new leadership during the 2022 offseason when Dave Ziegler and Josh McDaniels arrived from the New England Patriots to become Las Vegas' general manager and head coach, respectively.
