Atlanta Falcons sign wide receiver Darnell Mooney to 3-year-contract

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons have signed free agent wide receiver Darnell Mooney to a 3-year contract, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Mooney’s contract is worth up to $39 million across three years.

This move comes days after the team signed quarterback Kirk Cousins to a 4-year contract.

Spending his first four seasons, with the Chicago Bears, Mooney will be an explosive, deep threat for Cousins.

Mooney slots in as the Falcons’ No. 2 receiver behind 2022 first-round pick Drake London.

The Falcons still have some cap space to make further moves this offseason.
