Darren Waller Not Focused On Contract Talks
3 years agoLas Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller isn't focused on a new contract. The 29-year-old, who will make $7 million this season, inked a deal in 2019. He now has two years remaining, although there isn't any guaranteed money left. Yet, with David Njoku recently receiving a four-year, $56.75 million ($28 million guaranteed), Waller will leave things up to his agent and continue to focus on learning new head coach Josh McDaniel's system. The former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket is coming off a horrendous 2021 season, where he finished with 55 catches for 665 yards and two touchdowns. He also played in only 11 games due to injury. Nonetheless, Waller has proven that he can be one of the most potent options at the position. He'll be playing for an offensive-friendly coach in 2022 and will also be paired with Davante Adams, who will unquestionably take some pressure off. As a result, Waller has a good chance to return to fantasy prominence, but he'll need to stay healthy.
