Dolphins Are Trading with Giants for Tight End Darren Waller, Who Will Come Out of Retirement

  • The Miami Dolphins traded a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick to the New York Giants for tight end Darren Waller and a 2027 seventh-round pick on Tuesday.
  • This trade followed Waller’s retirement last June after playing 12 games with the Giants in 2023 and his expressed desire to return only if it was in Miami.
  • Waller has played nine NFL seasons, appeared in 86 games with 63 starts, recorded 350 receptions, 4,124 receiving yards, and 20 touchdowns, but has been fully healthy only twice in his career.
  • Waller agreed to a one-year contract with Miami worth up to $5 million, with his agent Drew Rosenhaus confirming, "That's his first choice."
  • The Dolphins aim to replace Jonnu Smith, who was traded with Jalen Ramsey to the Steelers, by bringing Waller out of retirement to strengthen their tight end position.
