$26 million guaranteed

Falcons are signing former Bears WR Darnell Mooney: 3 years, $39 million, including 26M fully guaranteed. Agents David Mulugheta and AJ Stevens negotiated and confirmed deal. (Adam Schefter on X)

Nerdy Football Analysis: The Falcons have a very thin WR room with only Drake London, Josh Ali and Chris Blair under contract, so signing Mooney does give them a needed veteran presence at the No.2 spot. They still need WR depth but that will likely be addressed in the draft. It’s all but assured that Falcons players will be overvalued in drafts this Summer, Mooney included.

Nerdy Football Analysis: It’s been reported that Green Bay wanted Jones to take roughly a 50% pay cut as he was set to make roughly $12 million. Jones (29) will now wear purple and likely share running back duties with Ty Chandler. He was battling hamstring injuries most of 2023 but did finish the season with five-straight 100-yard rushing games.

Two-year, $8 million deal for Moss

The #Bengals have agreed to terms with RB Zack Moss on a two-year, $8 million deal, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. The deal includes $4.525 million in the first year for Moss, who cashes in after showing what he could do in Jonathan Taylor’s absence last year. (Mike Garafolo on X)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Moss played in a workhorse role last season while Jonathan Taylor missed time, and proved to be a valuable contributor. He’ll pair with second-year player Chase Brown who has more burst but is best suited for a change-of-pace role. Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans are also on the roster. One player who isn’t’ on the roster anymore is Joe Mixon, who was released today. Mixon (27) posted 1410 total yards and 12 TDs last season playing in all 17 games for the Bengals.
