With Darren Waller uncertain about his football future, the New York Giants will host free agent tight end Chris Manhertz for a visit in East Rutherford on Wednesday.
ESPN’s Jordan Raanan was the first to report the news.
Former Broncos TE Chris Manhertz is scheduled to visit the Giants on Wednesday. Veteran tight end has played in 120 career games, with 53 career starts.

The 31-year-old Manhertz was originally signed by the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent out of Canisius in 2015. The journeyman has also made stops with the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars and, most recently, the Denver Broncos.
The Bronx native has appeared in 120 career games (53 starts), hauling in 26 receptions for 271 yards and two touchdowns. At 6-foot-6 and 235 pounds, he is primarily used as a blocking tight end but also contributes on special teams.
Although Manhertz wouldn’t be a replacement for Waller from a production standpoint, he would help beef up the Giants’ tight end room and boost their run blocking.
