The Miami Dolphins’ search for a tight end this week, indeed, revolved around one with Las Vegas Raiders ties. It just wasn’t the one the focus was on.
To continue the Dolphins’ wild start to Fourth of July 4 week, NFL Media reported Tuesday morning that they traded for the retired Darren Waller, whose right were still retained by the New York Giants. New York gets a sixth-round pick next year.
The #Giants get a 2026 sixth-round pick from Miami for Darren Waller and a conditinal 2027 seventh-rounder, per source.
Essentially a free pick for New York for a player who was retired, and a low-risk flier for Miami on a player who at his peak was one of the NFL’s best.
