Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that the Giants plan to sign WR Darnell Mooney to a contract.
According to Ian Rapoport, Mooney’s contract is a one-year deal worth up to $10 million.
It’s worth mentioning that signing him won’t impact the Giants’ compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.
Mooney, 28, was a four-year starter at Tulane and was named second-team all-conference in his junior season. The Bears traded up to draft him with the No. 173 pick in the fifth round in 2020.
Mooney played out the final year of a four-year, $2,917,050 rookie contract that included a $282,050 signing bonus.
He later joined the Falcons on a three-year, $39 million contract with $26 million fully guaranteed back in 2024. However, the Falcons released him a few weeks ago.
In 2025, Mooney appeared in 15 games for the Falcons and 32 seven passes for 443 yards and a touchdown.
