Obviously, the Packers have the Raiders’ pick at 22, but they also have their own original selection at 28. The Raiders may not have been interested in trading Waller and a first-round pick for Adams - not a good deal at all –, but what about if the Packers sent their first pick to the Raiders to get Waller? And a deal could happen during the draft this week. The Raiders resisted that proposition, but ultimately it didn’t matter because they were informed by the league that a franchise-tagged player such as Adams is not allowed to be traded for another player.Īccording to this new report, that undisclosed player was Waller. This fire had smoke previously in a piece by the Athletic that said the Packers initially wanted “an undisclosed player” from the Raiders along with a first-round pick in exchange for Davante Adams. I stuck a pin in that eerie feeling I had and it makes this recent report all the more interesting.Īccording to a recent report from Aaron Nagler at CheeseheadTV, the Packers and Raiders have discussed a trade that would involve Darren Waller. Carr was a priority for a new deal in part because he was entering a season with no guaranteed money.Ĭarr did eventually mention Waller along with Renfrow and Moreau in this context later in the same press conference, but his inclusion still seemed enough an afterthought to not be notable. And there’s no way he could have been thinking it was a normal thing for Waller to enter a season with no guaranteed money on his contract. And Darren Waller is not among those names. So, you have Carr mentioning two of his top receivers and a tight end. And so, for me, it was like, how do we do that?” I went through a heartbreak already last time I signed my contract, my best friend left (Khalil Mack) and I didn’t want that to ever happen again.Īnd so, this was an opportunity for me to prove to the team, to the organization, to our fans that the way we’re going to structure this is so that we can keep everybody together and really, really have real continuity, really have something to build on. ![]() “Tim, my agent, myself and the team, we made sure guys like Chandler, guys like Davante, guys like hopefully Hunter and Foster and those guys can stay here the way we structured it. Take this answer from Derek Carr about structuring his deal to allow for others to be signed. And yet, all the attention seems to be paid to an extension for Hunter Renfrow. He has two years left on his current deal, but zero guaranteed money, which would usually suggest he is due for a restructure or an extension. This offseason, there has been an unsettling lack of discussion about Darren Waller’s contract situation.
