Darren Waller's getting an extension with the Raiders.

Las Vegas Raiders, TE Darren Waller agree to 3-year extension​

ESPN

Tight end Darren Waller and the Las Vegas Raiders have reached agreement on a three-year contract extension with $51 million in new money.

"This was one of the most challenging negotiations I've encountered," said Waller's agent Drew Rosenhaus. "It is very rare for a 30-year-old player with two years left on his contract to get a new deal."

Waller is now contractually tied to the Raiders for five years and $66.25 million. He had two years left on the four-year, $29.8 million extension he signed in 2019 but had no guaranteed money remaining. Waller was set to earn $7 million in each of the next two seasons.

"Darren Waller is an exemplary teammate in every way, and we're excited to see him continue to grow as a leader on this team," Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said via a statement Saturday. "Darren brings a tremendous commitment and work ethic to the building every day and we couldn't be more thrilled that he will be a part of the Raiders Family for years to come."

Waller, who turns 30 on Tuesday, emerged as a premier tight end in 2019, when he had 90 catches for 1,145 yards and three touchdowns. He followed that up in 2020 with 107 catches, 1,196 yards and 11 touchdowns. Since becoming a starter in 2019, Waller ranks second in the NFL among all tight ends in catches and yards, trailing only Kansas City's Travis Kelce in both categories.

Waller was limited to 11 games last season due to injuries to an ankle, his left knee and his back, plus a positive test for COVID-19. He missed most of training camp because of an undisclosed injury. He returned to practice once on Aug. 17 but has been sidelined again since then with a hamstring injury, although he is considered ready to go for the team's Week 1 showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The new deal comes after Waller signed with Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey on Wednesday after cutting ties with Klutch Sports as his representation.

Information from ESPN's Paul Gutierrez was used in this report.

Jordan Poyer's getting his contract reworked.

Buffalo Bills, Jordan Poyer agree to reworked contract, agents say​

ESPN

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- After requesting an extension this offseason, All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer and the Buffalo Bills have agreed to a reworked contract for the 2022 season that includes up to $2 million in incentives, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln told ESPN's Field Yates on Saturday.

"Jordan appreciates this goodwill gesture by the Bills as we continue to work for a contract extension," Rosenhaus said to ESPN.

Poyer, 31, signed with agent Drew Rosenhaus during the offseason as he entered the final year of a two-year, $19.5 million deal that he signed with the Bills in March 2020 that included $500,000 in incentives.

The new incentives cover a variety of categories tied to play-time, on-field production (such as interceptions) and team categories (win or statistical improvements), which are well within reach reach based on Poyer's role and the expectations for the team this year.

Poyer, who was coming off an elbow injury, had an interception, two tackles and a pass defensed in the Bills' season-opening 31-10 over the Los Angeles Rams on Thurday.

He had expressed his desire for a new deal this offseason and his affection for playing in Buffalo. Rosenhaus was on site at the start of the team's training camp and met with general manager Brandon Beane.

"I want to continue to play football and play my best football in Buffalo for as long as I can, however long that may be," Poyer said Aug. 29. "But like I said, I'm here with the guys right now, and I'm ready to attack this season."

The former seventh-round pick out of Oregon State by the Philadelphia Eagles has been with the Bills for the past five seasons, playing alongside safety Micah Hyde, who is signed through 2024, throughout that period.

Poyer did not attend the team's voluntary offseason programs, along with Hyde, but did participate in the team's mandatory minicamp before breaking for the summer and was full go after that. The safety suffered a left elbow injury on Aug. 2 and did not return to practice until Aug. 27.

"He's very special, very special," Hyde said. "I think that I wouldn't be the player I am today without him. And I think it's safe to say that he wouldn't be the player he is without me. I've told you guys this before, every single day we push each other."

Poyer has 19 interceptions over his time in Buffalo, including five in 2021. He had a career-high three sacks last year along with 93 tackles.
