Darren Waller Still Undecided About Football Future | SI.com

“I have not decided yet,” said Waller when asked if he was playing next year. “Physically, I do still feel like I’m there. There have been injuries, but as far as how I feel when I’m healthy and out on the field, I still feel like I have a lot to offer.”

Seven of these eight trades were made during the draft, which makes sense because it’s impossible to forecast who will be available at No. 6 beforehand. Schoen will establish the framework for potential trade-back deals before the draft, but don’t expect any action until the Giants are on the clock.

Schoen has made multiple trades in each direction during his first two drafts, so it’s not just lip service when he says he’ll explore every option.

Tough road ahead: New York Giants

This team’s hopes rest on whatever quarterback Daniel Jones does in his sixth season. He’s already going to be without the team’s best weapon from the past few years (Saquon Barkley), and there are plenty of rumblings about the Giants taking a quarterback in the first round. Brian Daboll won NFL Coach of the Year honors two years ago by taking a flawed team to the playoffs. He would likely win it a second time if he could repeat that feat with this roster.
