The Giants are adding another big-time playmaker for QB Jaxson Dart.

Big Blue is bringing in WR Darnell Mooney on a one-year deal worth up to $10 million, according to reports.

Mooney, of course, was released earlier this week as a cap casualty by the Falcons.

The 28-year-old was heading into the final of a three-year pact he signed with Atlanta in 2024, but instead became one of the top free agent receivers available.

He was an extremely steady target when healthy over his two years with the team.

Mooney put together one of the best showings of his career opposite Drake London during his first season as a Falcon, recording 64 receptions for 992 yards and five touchdowns.

The speedster wasn't able to carry that production over to last season, though, as he suffered a shoulder injury during training camp and never quite looked 100 percent healthy.

Now in Big Blue's offense, he'll look to bounceback next to third-year wideout Malik Nabers.

Mooney also comes with plenty of familiarity with OC Matt Nagy's system, as the two were together when he first broke into the league with the Bears.

The Tulane-product had 81 catches for 1,055 yards during his second year in that offense.

New York now has Mooney, Nabers, Calvin Austin III, Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Gunner Olszewski, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins, and Ryan Miller in a suddenly crowded WR room.
