Falcons Release Wide Receiver Darnell Mooney to Free Up Cap Space

The Atlanta Falcons have released wide receiver Darnell Mooney, the team announced on Monday. The move frees up $7.4 million in salary cap space for the Falcons as they navigate a busy free agency period that included signing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Mooney's release comes as the team overhauls its receiving corps, which also saw the departure of KhaDarel Hodge and the additions of Olamide Zaccheaus and Jahan Dotson. Mooney will now look for a new home as an unrestricted free agent.
