Former Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller has retired from the NFL at 31 years old after a single season with the New York Giants.
Waller informed the Giants of his decision prior to the start of their minicamp, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. The Giants confirmed his retirement in a statement Sunday afternoon.
“We have great respect for Darren as a person and player," the statement reads. "We wish him nothing but the best.”
New York's mandatory minicamp starts Tuesday. The Giants traded a third-round draft pick to acquire Waller from the Las Vegas Raiders prior to last season.
