Eagles Considered Darnell Mooney Before He Chose the Giants

The Eagles reportedly explored signing wide receiver Darnell Mooney before he joined the Giants, a connection aided by Mooney’s prior rapport with Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy from their Bears days. Mooney, released by the Falcons after a three-year, $39 million contract, had 992 receiving yards in 2024 but dropped to 443 last season, and the Eagles may still pursue a veteran receiver as roster moves continue.

Giants eye five released veterans to bolster 2026 roster

With cap space opened by releasing Bobby Okereke and James Hudson, the Giants are eyeing five freed players—Tremaine Edmunds, Akeem Davis-Gaither, Darnell Mooney, Alec Ingold, and Mekhi Becton—for 2026 free agency. Edmunds and Davis-Gaither would upgrade linebacker depth, Mooney adds a downfield threat, Ingold brings a traditional fullback option, and Becton offers a massive, potentially resurging offensive lineman; league prices and Slayton’s contract may influence how aggressively the Giants pursue them.

Falcons weigh releasing Mooney to clear cap space

The Falcons plan to release wide receiver Darnell Mooney, with Ian Rapoport reporting the move could precede any trade as a post-June 1 designation would clear about $12 million in cap space, though the team would still absorb much of the $18.42 million cap hit. Mooney, who had 64 catches for 992 yards in his first season with Atlanta, dropped to 32 catches for 443 yards in 2025.
