Should Raiders fans be concerned about Darren Waller's uncertain injury timeline after Josh McDaniels' latest update? FrontOffice33 | RaiderNation
is also more than an adequate backup that would be catapulted to the starting role should Waller be inactive. In three games Waller didn’t play in last season, Moreau posted 60-plus receiving yards in each game, which were his three highest outputs of the year. The Chargers had difficulty covering tight ends last season and Moreau is talented enough to exploit the holes in their defense.
Waller also has his personal situation to consider. Although he’s likely inching to return to the field, Waller has a stake in enjoying an uber-productive season, which can only occur if he’s healthy. Waller’s contract situation looms. He’s scheduled to earn $6.2 million in 2022 while carrying a cap hit of $6.843 million, via Spotrac. Waller is severely underpaid and should be seeking an extension with a pay raise next summer.
A healthy Waller increases the Raiders’ chances of them achieving their lofty goals this season. If keeping Waller inactive for Week 1 gives them a better chance at winning the ultra-competitive AFC West, then this is a no-brainer decision for McDaniels. Waller and the Raiders have legitimate AFC West title aspirations in 2022. Sometimes you have to sacrifice in the short term to be in the best position long term.
