A smart depth add that gives the Giants a legitimate speed threat at receiver. Multiple outlets covered the signing, highlighting Mooney's explosiveness as a former Falcons starter. The key signal is his training footage with Jaxson Dart, suggesting a built-in chemistry advantage early. Fans are cautiously optimistic, noting Mooney's inconsistency but appreciating the affordable one-year structure. If Dart starts, Mooney's route-running speed could make him a sneaky value contributor in 2025.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the New York Giants — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Darnell's on-field performance ranks in the lower half among NFL WRs, grading him as a rotational player at the position. His $10.0M average annual value ranks as mid-range money for the WR market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — rotational player output at mid-range money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Darnell is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
