Darren Waller...is he the real deal?

[bjd5211]

Easiest short answer to the question that didn't need to be revisited after the 2020 season.

4th in the NFL receptions. Most receptions by a TE at 107;

Yes he is the real deal and Tier 1.

I bought him in a few leagues last offseason because the value seemed great, given the upside. I wasn't a fanatical believer then and I'm looking for a reason to believe in him going forward.

I don't really know what else he can do or what anyone can say at this point if you still don't believe in him. Better off trading him and capitalize on the value most other people put on him if you still have doubts.

Lot's of smoke about the Packers trying to acquire Waller.

You'd think they would have thought of that whilst negotiating the Davante trade. If it didn't happen then, why would it happen now?

The leverage of their immediate need is well against them. Teams will do their best to ransom them, nobody is going to "help" the Packers.

Because there is a rule that you can't trade a player you've applied the tag to, for a non tagged player, I believe.

Well, chalk that up in the ‘new thing I learned today’ bucket. Thanks for the knowledge share!

I could be wrong, but I think it has to do with the fact Adams hadn't signed the tag. The rule is different for a tagged player who has signed it, to clarify I believe.

And looking at the situation… why would you trade away a top 6-7 TE who is on a contract of $6.25M for the next two years? That’s a pretty team friendly situation right there.

Gotta take a pic with Adams too lol

What are we thinking of the trade value for Waller these days? He's getting older and will presumably lose a bunch of targets Adams. KTC puts him at ~ a late 2023 1st but that feels bad given how valuable he should be for a contender

Perceived worth may be a late 1st, but with a potential unknown decline of targets, declining health, and a monstrous '23 draft class coming up I don't see anyone putting up more than a early/mid 2nd for him. Visa versa I don't see many people accepting it either.

X2 if we say hes worth a mid first which call it 6 for easy sake, would you rather have waller or one of Gibbs/Evans/boutte.
