Open Extended ReactionsMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Tight end Darren Waller will come out of retirement to join the Miami Dolphins, his agents told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. The Dolphins will trade a 2026 sixth-round pick to the New York Giants, who held his rights, in exchange for Waller and a conditional 2027 seventh-round pick, sources told Schefter. However, they traded him to the Giants the following year, and Waller announced his retirement after just one season in New York. Waller told people close to him that he "missed football" and was returning for the love of the game, a source told ESPN's Jordan Raanan. Adding Waller fills a need vacated by Smith as the team's primary pass-catching tight end -- but there is risk involved with the move.
