Firstly of organized crew actions (OTAs), New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll was nonetheless unsure concerning the soccer way forward for star tight finish Darren Waller.
“I’d say the identical factor I stated final month, let Darren take what he must take and as soon as the choice is made, we’ll go from there,” Daboll informed reporters. “We’ve got conversations, clearly, however when Darren makes his resolution, that’s what we’ll go along with.”
It may be attainable the Giants gained’t wait an excessive amount of longer. June 1 is simply days away, and though the crew is leaving the choice in Waller’s fingers, may merely minimize him after Saturday and notice a 2024 cap advantage of almost $11 million.
In an excellent present of religion, the crew will seemingly wait till Waller decides however he actually can’t take an excessive amount of longer. His troubled hamstring continues to be in query and the Giants have already loaded up their tight finish room in anticipation of him not returning.
Basic supervisor Joe Schoen signed veterans Chris Manhertz and Jack Stoll after which adopted that up by deciding on Penn State’s Theo Johnson within the fourth spherical of this yr’s NFL draft.
Johnson may be very Waller-like in dimension at 6-foot-6 and round 260 kilos and with some fast-track teaching may very properly slide into the function Waller performed final season.
Waller must be seeing this however there doesn’t appear to be any extra urgency on both aspect to get this case resolved.
