And <a href=\"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/nfl\/player\/darren-waller\/\">Darren Waller<\/a> possesses all the key ingredients &#8211; he is athletic, field-stretching tight end, who can track linebackers and safeties.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old was at the peak of his power during the 2019-20 seasons with the Raiders, when he generated back-to-back 1,100 yards. However, his career has been plagued with injuries in the last couple of years at Vegas, where he played only 9 games in 2022. He managed to earn 28 catches for 388 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Waller&#8217;s addition to the Giants&#8217; squad gives head coach Brian Daboll the flexibility to experiment with other players, such as the other TE <a href=\"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/nfl\/player\/daniel-bellinger\/\">Daniel Bellinger<\/a>, who impressed in his rookie campaign.<\/p>\n<p>If the Raiders were to sell Waller, that would leave them with a huge cap for the tight end position, with <a href=\"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/nfl\/player\/foster-moreau\/\">Foster Moreau<\/a> currently a free agent. They might look to a deep TE draft to fill in the void.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big Blue Giants are only steps away from acquiring tight end star Darren Waller from Las Vegas Raiders, according to a NFL network [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4224,"featured_media":430019,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[18222,16755,16794],"news_category":[16703],"gn_keywords":[],"acf":{"announce":"The TE superstar is reported to have agreed terms with the New York team for a sensational move","video":[]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/430018"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4224"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/430018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430018"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=430018"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=430018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
