New York Giants tight end Darren Waller is still unsure about his status for next season as he's deciding whether to retire or play another year. 

In March, Waller said he would decide "pretty soon," though did not give a set timeline for making the call.

Waller, who has played nine seasons, says he still has a lot to think about this offseason. 

"I haven't made a decision yet," the 31-year-old said. "It's just a matter of respecting the process. There's so much that goes into the process of going from April through February of an NFL season. The commitment that it requires. I'm a guy who's evolving, who's growing, who's played a lot of football and been through a lot."

The New York Giants are set to work out J.J. McCarthy privately in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Sunday, according to a report.

McCarthy's stock has been rising, with many believing he'll be the second quarterback to come off the board behind Caleb Williams.

New York has the sixth overall pick.

Saquon Barkley made headlines when he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this month.

However, Barkley admitted on the "New Heights" podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce that the Eagles weren't the first team he considered when he realized he'd be leaving the New York Giants.

"I'm gonna be honest here, that's what the show is for. The first team that had my real interest was Houston [Texans]," the running back said. "I got to communicate with C.J. [Stroud] and a couple of those boys. But this was before you could actually put offers on the table and talk to teams."

The Texans ended up acquiring Joe Mixon in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals and signing him to a contract extension.

Brian Daboll admitted Tuesday that he's considering taking over play-calling duties for the New York Giants.

"It's something I'm looking into," Daboll said. "I think there's 20 head coaches at this point in time that call plays in the league (either offensively or defensively). … There might be a little bit more. I've been doing a bunch of research, but no decision has been made. I'm still going through that process, thinking about what we need to do."

The Giants struggled offensively in 2023. Since Daboll was hired in New York, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka has primarily been the man calling the shots.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll have the green light from ownership to draft a quarterback next month, if they so desire.

The Giants have the sixth overall pick in this year's draft. They signed Daniel Jones to a $160 million deal last offseason.

"If they fall in love with a quarterback and believe that it's worth pick No. 6 or moving up, I certainly would support that," owner John Mara said.

Schoen has already made it known that the team is at the very least looking at quarterbacks with the high pick.

"I know they're looking at the quarterbacks. You've seen that," Mara said. "They've gone to some of the pro day, we've had some of those guys in. I don't think they're even close to making a final determination yet as to which way we're going to go on that. Those discussions will happen over the next few weeks."

When Russell Wilson met with the New York Giants, the quarterback received no guarantee that he would play ahead of Daniel Jones if he signed there, according to a report.

Wilson's meeting with the Giants took place before he sat down with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The New York Giants have agreed to acquire Brian Burns from the Carolina Panthers and will sign him to a $150 million deal.

The deal will have $87.75 million in guaranteed money.

The Giants will send a 2024 second round pick and a 2-25 fifth round pick. 

Burns had received the nonexclusive franchise tag from the Panthers last week.

Burns' 46 sacks the last five seasons rank 13th in the NFL during that time span.

The New York Giants have agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract with guard Jon Runyan, according to his agents.

The former Green Bay Packer receives $17 million guaranteed at signing.

The son of former offensive tackle Jon Runyan, Sr., Jon Jr. was a sixth-round pick out of Michigan in 2020.

The New York Giants will not place the franchise tag on Saquon Barkley this offseason, which will allow him to become an unrestricted free agent.

A second straight tag for Barkley would cost $12.1 million, but it also wouldn't have been openly embraced. Barkley has been adamant over the past 18 months about not wanting to be tagged.

Barkley, 27, played last season on an adjusted franchise tag that netted him $10.1 million after the two sides failed to reach agreement on a long-term deal.

Barkley rushed for just 962 yards and six touchdowns for the Giants last season, missing three games with a high ankle sprain suffered in a Week 2 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
