Overview
- Mooney appeared healthy and confident at Giants training camp on Tuesday, telling reporters his "hands feel strong" and that he feels "smooth" while working with the first team.
- Reporting confirms he signed a one-year deal with New York but differs on the value, with some outlets saying a fully guaranteed $3 million and others reporting a $10 million figure.
- Coaches are giving Mooney consistent first-team reps with Jaxson Dart, which suggests he is competing for his place in the pecking order rather than solely fighting to make the 53-man roster.
- Mooney is pursuing a bounceback after a 2025 season cut short by a broken collarbone in Falcons camp and a midseason hamstring injury that left him with 443 receiving yards and one touchdown.
- If Mooney keeps showing chemistry with Dart he could earn more snaps and help compensate for Malik Nabers' uncertain knee status, a development that would shape the Giants' receiving depth and short-term game plan.
