NFL Fans Crush Josh McDaniels After Darren Waller Trade

The timing of this move only added to the criticism.

The Raiders made some big news Tuesday when they traded tight end Darren Waller to the Giants. 

The move was some pretty bad timing for Waller, as he just got married at the beginning of the month to Las Vegas Aces star Kelsey Plum, who wasn’t too happy about to hear about the trade. 

The move puts some extra heat on Raiders second-year head coach Josh McDaniels, who is trying avoid the fate of many other former Patriots assistants (including himself) who have failed as head coaches. 

This move, especially the timing of it, didn’t win many people over. Let’s take a look at how NFL Twitter reacted to it. 

Should have known he wasn’t a romantic when he left the Colts at the Altar.
