Darren Waller and the Las Vegas Raiders reportedly held discussions about a new deal that would make him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL at about $16 million per year, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.
The average annual value would top San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, who has a $15 million average salary.
The discussions come after Waller fired his agent at Klutch Sports last week. He cannot hire a new agent officially until Wednesday after the five-day waiting period, but he is reportedly expected to hire Drew Rosenhaus, per Mike Florio of NBC Sports.
