The Miami Dolphins have reached agreement with the New York Giants to acquire former Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller, who is ending his year-long retirement, according to multiple reports confirmed by team and league sources. Miami will send a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2026 draft to New York and receive Waller plus a conditional seventh-rounder in 2027. The 32-year-old tight end has signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins valued at up to $5 million, agent Drew Rosenhaus said. Waller retired in June 2024 after one injury-marred season with the Giants but recently told the club he would return only to play in Miami. The 6-foot-6 target amassed 350 receptions, 4,124 yards and 20 touchdowns over eight seasons, highlighted by consecutive 1,100-yard campaigns with the Raiders in 2019-20. He turns 33 in September and reunites with Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith, his position coach in Las Vegas. The move fills a vacancy created when Miami traded Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers a day earlier. With a modest draft outlay and incentive-laden contract, the Dolphins view Waller as a low-risk addition who could give quarterback Tua Tagovailoa another middle-of-the-field threat if he stays healthy.
