The New York Giants are signing veteran wide receiver Darnell Mooney to a one-year contract worth up to $10 million, according to multiple reports on Saturday.
The Atlanta Falcons released Mooney, 28, earlier this month as a salary cap casualty after he signed a three-year, $39 million contract in March 2024. He was set to count $18.4 million against the cap, but the move saved the Falcons $7.42 million.
The Giants lost 2025 leading receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (92 receptions, 1,014 yards) in free agency to the Tennessee Titans earlier this week. They added former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Calvin Austin and re-signed Gunner Olszewski to join veterans Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton.
Mooney recorded 64 catches for 992 yards and a career-high five touchdowns in 16 games (all starts) in his first season with the Falcons in 2024. He had just 32 receptions for 443 yards and one score in 15 games (all starts) in 2025. He missed Game 1 due to a broken collarbone and two other games because of a hamstring injury.
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.
Chicago selected Mooney in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Tulane.
