Fantasy Impact:

Waller is currently in the middle of changing his representation, so that may prolong the extension being finalized, but it is clear that both sides want to get a deal done. If the 29-year-old is signed, the Raiders will have secured Waller, Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow to multi-year contracts this offseason, locking down their receiving corps for the near future. This season, the tight end will likely be the second option in the offense behind Adams, who could be double-teamed at times, leaving more opportunity for Waller to produce.
