Former Raiders star tight end play well for Miami?
In one of the more fascinating moves in the NFL this summer involves a former Las Vegas Raiders star.
On July 1, the Miami Dolphins traded for tight end Darren Waller from the New York Giants. Waller retired before the 20-204 season, but decided to come back. He spent one season with the Giants after he was traded from the Raiders. Waller played for the Raiders from 2018-22 and became a star for the Silver and Black. Las Vegas traded the Pro Bowl tight end for a third-round pick (It became wide receiver Tre Tucker) in 2023.
Waller, who turns 33 in Miami, became a star for the Raiders in 2019 (he was signed off Baltimore’s practice squad in 2018). However, injuries started to affect Waller in 2021 and he hasn’t played in more than 11 games since the 2020 season.
Waller reunites with Frank Smith, who is Miami’s offensive coordinator. He was Waller’s position coach with the Raiders.
Waller was a good Raider and he has a great story of personal triumph. How do you see him doing in this return to the game?
