The Raiders will receive the No. 100 overall
pick of the draft. That selection was the compensatory pick
originally awarded to the Chiefs that Kansas City sent to the
Giants in a trade for wideout Kadarius Toney on Oct. 22.
Trades cannot become official until the start of the league year
on Wednesday.
The reported acquisition of Waller will give a big-play target
to Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, who earlier this month
agreed to terms on a four-year, $160 million contract.
Waller, 30, has spent the past five seasons with the Raiders
franchise. Last season, injuries limited him to just nine games
(six starts), and he made 28 catches for 388 yards and three
touchdowns.
Waller had back-to-back seasons of more than 1,100 yards in 2019
and 2020. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2020.
Last September, Waller signed a three-year, $51 million contract
extension with $22 million in guaranteed money.
