It was already objectively absurd that the New York Giants managed to trade a retired tight end for anything. That alone probably earned Joe Schoen a little longer of a leash. But now we’ve got the actual condition on the conditional pick New York included, and somehow this deal might look even better in hindsight.
Per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan: “The seventh-round conditional pick the Giants will send the Dolphins is based on Waller having 50+ catches, per source. If Waller doesn’t catch 50 passes this season, the Giants send their 2027 seventh-round pick to Miami.
