Giants Agree to One-Year Deal With WR Darnell Mooney

Familiarity with OC Matt Nagy makes Mooney a plug-in downfield option to help replace Wan'Dale Robinson.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Mooney is joining New York on a one-year contract worth up to $10 million.
  • Atlanta released the 28-year-old this month in a salary-cap move after an injury-impacted 2025 season with 32 catches for 443 yards.
  • Mooney posted 992 yards and five touchdowns in 2024 and previously logged a 1,055-yard season in Chicago, highlighting the upside the Giants are targeting.
  • He reunites with former Bears head coach Matt Nagy, now the Giants’ offensive coordinator, in a retooled unit built around second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart.
  • The addition follows Wan'Dale Robinson’s free-agent departure to the Titans and complements recent pickups Calvin Austin and tight end Isaiah Likely; one report said Mooney chose New York over Philadelphia’s interest.
