The Atlanta Falcons are set to release wide receiver Darnell Mooney, NFL Network reported Thursday morning.
Signed to a three-year, $39 million contract in March 2024, Mooney was set to count $18.4 million against the salary cap. The Falcons would save $7.42 million on the cap with the reported move.
Mooney, 28, recorded 64 catches for 992 yards and a career-high five touchdowns in his first season with the Falcons in 2024. He had just 32 receptions for 443 yards and one score in 15 games in 2025.
He has 309 catches for 4,028 yards with 17 touchdowns in 91 career games (80 starts) with the Chicago Bears (2020-23) and Falcons.
