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.
IMO, good for the Giants
Once his chronically injured hamstrings were a problem again - he was done, physically and mentally.
He was dominant in training camp, then 48 hours before the season started his hamstring was bothering him. Tried to play through it and that was a disaster.
I wonder if they're going to look at Chatman as a blocking TE or fullback on short yardage packages. I know the other 2 TEs are primarily blockers, but he's intriguing.
After watching that rap video, I really think he is going through shit. And considering his substance abuse history, I hope he doesn’t relapse. I wish him well.
Giants are not a better team with a healthy Waller. That said, I like Bellinger and Theo Johnson has the tools to be the best TE we’ve had since Martellus Bennett. I think they’ll be fine, and this allows the young pass catchers more opportunities.

Damn. You bring up Bennett, I really liked him I wish he could've stuck around. $.
I still don't blame Schoen for making the trade. It seemed like a good idea given that we had an extra third round pick, and needed some type of additional receiving help. But it was obviously a disaster.
Hell to the no. He totally mailed it in last year and was making business decisions on the field to the detriment of his teammates. We do need a vet CB opposite Banks but definitely don’t need that kind of attitude around here.

Good luck to him and his future going forward.

To be fair, he was a trade acquisition, not a free agent signing

Bye

Oh, thank goodness.
He still contributed more than Toney did.
dont rule out cager/jackson - they are very good athletes/pass catchers.

But man. Horrendous trade. A 3rd round pick for him.

JS should have known he was going to retire. What a terrible GM (sarcasm).

My fellow Americans. Our long, national nightmare is over.

I hate to nitpick, but I have to here, Haha. Ford said that right after being sworn in. That picture is from a month later when he issued the pardon.
Ridiculous
Now they need to move on....

Hopefully our rookie TE shows something.
