Former tight end Darren Waller said he asked himself, "What am I doing with my life?" during a 2023 game against the Buffalo Bills, which prompted him to retire.

Although Slayton will continue to have competition for pass targets from Nabers tight end Theo Johnson and receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, to name a few, we feel good about him seeing an uptick in his 2025 receiving numbers. The arrival of quarterback Russell Wilson is expected to rejuvenate the passing offense as a whole, particularly the deep ball.

Manager Bob Melvin said “there’s a chance” Verlander returns from the 15-day injured list during San Francisco’s upcoming nine-game home stand against the Cleveland Guardians, Boston Red Sox and Miami Marlins. Verlander threw a live bullpen during the Giants’ previous series against the Colorado Rockies in Denver.

It's too early to take risks for the New York Giants. While they want to see their star wide receiver in action as soon as possible, Malik Nabers' offseason setback has kept him out of the mix throughout the team's set of spring sessions.

About two hours before tight end Darren Waller tried to make a game-winning walk-off touchdown catch for the Giants, he decided to retire. Waller, who officially announced his retirement in June 2024, said he made up his mind about eight months earlier while playing against the Bills on Oct. 15, 2023.

Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and rookie Jaxson Dart all have their own style. Darius Slayton, the elder statesman in the team's wide receiver room, spoke about the shift in perspectives this spring.

Many draft analysts viewed Jaxson Dart as a late 2nd-round talent, so when the Giants traded back up into the first round to select him, it reminded me of when Dave Gettleman reached for Daniel Jones.
