NFL Star TE Darren Waller Signs New Contract
Three Year, $51 Million Extension with Las Vegas Raiders
Contract Details and Future Impact
Darren Waller, the standout tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders, has inked a new three-year contract worth $51 million. The deal, which was signed on September 9, 2022, includes an $8.25 million signing bonus and $22 million guaranteed.
Waller's new contract reflects his value as one of the league's top tight ends. The 29-year-old has emerged as a key target for Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and has been a consistent performer over the past few seasons. His signing is a boost for the Raiders' offense and a sign of their commitment to keeping their core players together.
With his new contract, Waller becomes the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. His average annual salary of $17 million surpasses that of San Francisco 49ers' George Kittle.
The Raiders and Waller are both expected to benefit from this long-term agreement. Waller will continue to be a key part of the Raiders' offense, while the team will have a reliable and productive tight end for years to come.
