It’s probably for the best the Darren Waller got traded to the New York Giants this week, because it seems that the former Raiders tight end wasn’t exactly on good terms with Josh McDaniels.
According to The Athletic, there was some drama going on between Waller and the Raiders coach, and apparently, it was all happening because McDaniels accidentally revealed that Waller was getting married to WNBA star Kelsey Plum.
“The trade comes 10 days after Darren Waller’s wedding to Aces guard Kelsey Plum,” Tafur wrote on Twitter. “The timing is only interesting because Josh McDaniels accidentally leaked the news of his wedding to reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine. Waller was upset with McDaniels when the Las Vegas Review-Journal posted a story announcing the wedding was scheduled later in the week. The couple had not publicly announced their plans to get married.”
Waller and Plum had done such a good job of keeping their ceremony a secret that the Review-Journal called it a “surprise revelation” that they were getting married. Although the Waller and Plum were attempting to keep the wedding a secret, they were more than happy to share several photos from the event after it actually took place.
