"It's really the idea of signing up for another journey," Waller said. "It's tough, it's long, it requires a lot. And if you're not fully bought into every single thing of the process, it's going to be tough. I feel like at the end of the day, you're doing guys a disservice if you're not all the way in. So those are the kinds of things I'm taking into account."
Waller hasn't been present for the Giants' voluntary offseason workouts and organized team activities (OTAs). Next week's minicamp is mandatory.
Waller is under contract for three more seasons after signing a $51 million extension in 2022. He holds a $10.525 million base salary and a $14,083,750 cap hit for the 2024 season. But the Giants can open up $11.625 million in cap space by releasing Waller. The tight end has already forfeited earning $200,000 in workout bonuses this offseason.
