New York Giants tight end Darren Waller is expected to retire from the NFL, according to multiple sources including Jordan Raanan and Adam Schefter. Waller is anticipated to make a final decision before next week's mandatory minicamp. This potential retirement follows Waller's recent focus on his music career and his admitted doubts about his commitment to football earlier this offseason. If Waller retires, the Giants will incur dead cap charges of $2.45 million in 2024 and $5.91 million in 2025, but will also free up $11.625 million in 2024 cap space.
