The Philadelphia Eagles had interest in signing free agent wide receiver Darnell Mooney before he ultimately joined the New York Giants instead, according to a report from NFL insider Jeremy Fowler.

Fowler adds that Mooney has a good relationship with Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy after previously overlapping together on the Chicago Bears from 2020-2021.
