Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Likely agreed during the legal tampering window to a three-year, $40 million contract with incentives up to $47.5 million to join the Giants.
  • The deal places Likely among the higher-paid tight ends, according to reporting from Jordan Schultz and Dianna Russini.
  • New York targets Likely’s versatility in motion and slot alignments to support quarterback Jaxson Dart alongside Malik Nabers in Matt Nagy’s offense.
  • Local reporting notes the addition pairs with the re-signing of blocking TE Chris Manhertz and could reduce the chances of a Daniel Bellinger return, with Theo Johnson remaining in the mix.
  • Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said Baltimore held talks with both Likely and Andrews before choosing Andrews, a context underscored by Likely’s injury-affected 2025 (broken foot, career lows) despite career totals of 135 catches for 1,568 yards and 15 TDs.
