New York Giants TE Darren Waller was placed on the Reserve/Retired list Monday, June 10.

New York Giants TE Darren Waller informed the team of his retirement from the NFL, according to sources Sunday, June 9.
Huddle Up: A move that was widely expected, the Giants will save $11.6 million against the salary cap. This opens up a chance for Daniel Bellinger and rookie Theo Johnson to take the starting role in the offense. For now, they can be considered potential streaming options in the right matchup.

New York Giants TE Darren Waller is expected to announce his retirement before mandatory minicamp next week.
Huddle Up: Daniel Bellinger would receive a boost up the TE2 ladder. He had 25 catches for 255 yards and no scores last season.

New York Giants TE Darren Waller remains absent from voluntary OTAs as he continues to consider retirement, according to sources Thursday, May 23.
Huddle Up: Waller hasn't been consistent enough to truly make a difference for fantasy, but the landscape is so thin that managers will still want to monitor the situation. He's a borderline TE1 if he returns.

New York Giants TE Theo Johnson was drafted with Darren Waller's potential retirement in mind, according to general manager Joe Schoen on Saturday, April 27. "We had to take that into account for sure," Schoen said.
Huddle Up: Waller has been largely frustrating for fantasy due to constant injuries. His future in the NFL is still unclear. Johnson is an intriguing flier for dynasty purposes, but it may be a while before he carves out a role big enough to be usable for fantasy managers.

New York Giants TE Darren Waller has yet to decide on retiring, and general manager Joe Schoen has no intention of setting a deadline for Waller to make his decision.
"Hopefully he's going to make a decision in the short term, but we're giving him time and space to make a decision on what he wants to do," Schoen told reporters on Thursday, April 18.
Huddle Up: As much sense as it would make up for the Giants to draft Georgia's Brock Bowers with the sixth overall pick next week, New York has too many other needs to find Waller's eventual replacement. While it is pure guesswork at best, Waller would probably not prefer to end his career with the sour taste in his mouth that last year likely left. In the likely event Waller returns, he should be treated as little more than a TE2 with low-end TE1 upside at this point.

Updating previous reports, New York Giants TE Darren Waller remains undecided as to whether he'll continue playing football, but the team may be running out of patience waiting for him to finalize his plans. "I haven't made a decision yet," Waller said during a recent interview with Forbes. "It's just a matter of respecting the process. There's so much that goes into the process of going from April through February of an NFL season. The commitment that it requires. I'm a guy who's evolving, who's growing, who's played a lot of football and been through a lot. I'm at the point now where I'm like, 'OK, how much am I willing to give to the process,"' he added. "If it's not 100%, it's a disservice to the teammates and the organization that I have. I'm still trying to make a decision on that and it's tough to make one or the other out of emotion."

New York Giants TE Darren Waller still has not decided if he will retire this offseason, according to general manager Joe Schoen.
Huddle Up: Waller has struggled with injuries over the last few seasons but can still be a No. 1 fantasy tight end when healthy. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see if he will be available for 2024.

New York Giants TE Darren Waller said he has not decided if he will continue his playing career.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation over the next few weeks to see if Waller will play in 2024. He is usually a No. 1 fantasy tight end when healthy but has struggled with injuries over the last few seasons.

New York Giants TE Darren Waller, who was considering retirement, is returning for the 2024 season and the team is expected to keep him on the roster despite his potential of being a salary-cap casualty, according to sources Friday, March 1.
Huddle Up: Waller hasn't played more than 12 games in any of the last three seasons. He's a risky, back-end TE1 if he indeed stays with the Giants.
