US EditionGiants Sign Veteran Wide Receiver, Continue Offensive Revamp
Darnell Mooney, with 309 career receptions and $10 million contract value, adds speed and depth to the Giants' receiving corps despite recent drop concerns.
- Ian Rapoport reported that the New York Giants signed wide receiver Darnell Mooney to a one-year deal worth up to $10 million this offseason.
- After losing Wan'Dale Robinson to the Tennessee Titans earlier this week, the Giants signed Darnell Mooney to help replace that target for Jaxson Dart, the quarterback.
- His peak came in 2021 with 81 catches for 1,055 yards, and in 2024 he posted 64 catches for 992 yards in 91 games.
- The Giants expect Mooney to serve as a complementary WR2 who brings speed and slot versatility beside Malik Nabers and recent additions Calvin Austin III, Isaiah Likely, and Gunner Olszewski.
- If Mooney rebounds, this prove-it deal could lead to a bigger payday next offseason despite concerns from his down 2025 season with 32 catches, 443 yards, one TD, and drop issues.
