Wide receiver Darnell Mooney, one of the Bears’ best recent success stories, is headed to the Falcons on a three-year, $39 million deal, NFL Network reported. He’ll join a loaded offense with new quarterback Kirk Cousins, running back Bijan Robinson, wide receiver Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts.
The Bears drafted Mooney, 26, in the fifth round out of Tulane in 2020, and he quickly became one of their most important players. He immediately overtook veteran Anthony Miller and broke through with 81 catches for 1,055 yards and four touchdowns as the team’s leading receiver in 2021.
