Darren Waller retires
Darren Waller (TE, Giants) will no longer be on NFL fields in 2024. The 31-year-old released a video to announce his retirement.
He explains in particular that he experienced a serious health problem in November 2023. He would have spent more than three days in hospital after respiratory problems, without specifying more.
“I was in the hospital, and I came out of that experience and went back to my daily life thinking, ‘That’s pretty clear. I almost lost my life, and I don’t really know if I would have been happy with my life if I had died. »
American football was therefore no longer the priority.
“The passion slowly faded away. »
Selected in the 6th round in 2015 by the Ravens, Darren Waller really exploded with the Raiders in 2019. He recorded two seasons with more than 1,100 yards, before falling into line a little. He arrived at the Giants via a trade in March 2023. He caught 52 balls for 552 yards and 1 touchdown in 12 games in New York.
Lions sanctioned for too much contact in training
Spring is slowly coming. The NFL announced it took away a day of spring training from the Lions for a violation of rules on contact in practice. The excesses allegedly took place during a session held at the end of May.
This Monday’s session will be canceled. The Lions now have an appointment at the end of July for their training camp.
Chiefs: BJ Thompson is awake after his cardiac arrest

According to Rick Burkholder (Chiefs physical trainer), interviewed this Friday at a press conference, the cardiac arrest lasted less than two minutes. Burkholder wanted to be reassuring.
“He is alert. He is awake. He’s doing well. The situation is moving in the right direction. »

Rashee Rice promises he’ll ‘mature and grow’
Arrested for causing a car accident that left several injured, Rashee Rice (WR, Chiefs) has returned to training in recent days. On Saturday, he responded to the press on the sidelines of a training camp organized for young players in Kansas City. And we promise, we won’t do it again.
“I learned a lot from all that,” he assured according to ESPN. “All I can do is mature and continue to grow through this. This is a step in a better direction for me. »
Stefon Diggs smiles again
Sent to the Texans, Stefon Diggs (WR) is obviously not too nostalgic for Buffalo.
“They are very welcoming,” the receiver assured ESPN about his new team in Houston. “Arms wide open, and I think it’s important for me to be a part of something like this.” It’s authentic. We thrive in a space like that. We thrive in a space where we are loved. You thrive in a space where those around you truly care about you and truly want to see you win. »
Xavien Howard in court
All-Pro in 2020, cut by the Dolphins in 2024, Xavien Howard (CB) is far from its best days. And it’s not his recent indictment that will increase his rating. Indeed, the 30-year-old player is accused by an ex of revenge porn.
The facts date back to 2022: Having fallen pregnant with Howard, the woman who filed the complaint allegedly refused to have an abortion. In order to exert pressure, Xavien Howard then had the wonderful idea of sending sex tapes of this woman to his minor son (from a previous union). Facts currently contested by the player’s lawyer.
