EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Tight end Darren Waller is calling it a career.
The New York Giants were informed Sunday that Waller, 31, is retiring.
"We have great respect for Darren as a person and player. We wish him nothing but the best," the team said in a statement Sunday.
Waller had stayed away from the team this offseason as he contemplated his future, bypassing a potential $200,000 workout bonus and now a base salary of $10.525 million for this upcoming season.
The Giants get $11.9 million in cap savings this year with Waller as a post-June 1 cut.
