He looked unstoppable for a preseason game or two with the Giants until he channeled his inner Sammy Watkins.

What a waste of an NFL franchise. Raiders....where careers go to die!

That’s pretty much the same as every former Chiefs players from 2002 until Reid got here.

You mean 1974

We had awesome players like Art Still and Gary Barbero that could have been Hall of Famers on another team

These two guys were incredible.

There were many more

I believe the giants used the pick we traded them for kt to trade for Waller so the giants basically traded kt for Waller.

He got that Raider in him.

I think realistically he got divorced and that was the down turn

Randy Moss. Only one I can think of. But he was great before the Raiders so...

Per Rapoport:

Sources: Giants TE Darren Waller has informed the team he plans to retire, walking away at the age of 31 after just one season with NYG.

Waller hasn’t attended workouts, and the team had known for some time he may not play. Now, he’s officially let them know before minicamp.

But the best ever.................

They traded the Toney pick we gave them for Waller.. maybe that pick is just cursed

He almost died apparently. Had a medical episode recently stemming from covid and that led to his retirement.

Honestly I liken him to Jeremy Shockey when he was in the league, everyone kept telling me how great this guy was going to be and then he was gone and nobody really cared. I feel for his personal story, but outside of maybe helping win some fantasy leagues for guys, he really didn't do anything in his career that's memorable.

I get your point but Shockey had a couple thousand more yards than Waller, 17 more TD and won 2 Super Bowls. Not too shabby.

Well, he went out on top. At least that's what I was told. Just him and Travis Kelce. Borg & McEnroe, Ali & Frazier, Celtics & Lakers, Blur & Oasis, Archie Bunker & Meathead. Sad it's all over.
