Chicago Bears: former wide receiver signs with New York Giants in 2026 NFL free agency
The Chicago Bears have been slowly but surely revamping their wide receiver room. Over the past few seasons, they have allowed veteran pass catchers to leave while drafting younger wide receivers to replace them. Just recently, they traded DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills for center Garrett Bradbury.
With Moore gone, the Bears’ top wide receiver duo from 2023, the year they acquired him in a trade, are both playing elsewhere. The other member of that duo, Darnell Mooney, has spent the last two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.
And now he will be joining the New York Giants.
Former Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney signs with the New York Giants

According to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, Mooney has signed with the Giants in free agency:

By signing with the Giants, Mooney reunites with former Bears head coach Matt Nagy, who was hired as New York’s offensive coordinator.
In four seasons with the Bears, Mooney had 213 receptions for 2,593 yards and 11 touchdowns. His best season came in 2021 when he had 81 receptions for 1,055 yards and four touchdowns.
After his rookie contract with Chicago was up, Mooney signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Falcons. His best season with them came in 2024, his first year with the team. That season, he had 64 receptions for 992 yards and a career-high five touchdowns.
The Bears originally selected Mooney in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft with the 174th overall pick. Considering where he was drafted, he has put together a very nice NFL career.
