Falcons Planning to Release Wide Receiver Darnell Mooney

The Falcons are set to release Darnell Mooney on March 11, saving $7.42 million in cap space. After a 992-yard season in 2024, Mooney struggled in 2025 with injuries and ineffectiveness, recording 32 catches for 443 yards and one touchdown. Despite a down year, his history as a deep threat makes him an intriguing, potentially inexpensive free-agent option for teams like the Giants looking to bolster their wide receiver room.
