Overview
- Isaiah Likely signed a three-year, $40 million contract that can max out at $47 million, positioning him as the Giants’ top pass-catching tight end.
- John Harbaugh’s early free-agency push includes at least four former Ravens, with fullback Patrick Ricard signing and defensive back Ar’Darius Washington and All-Pro punter Jordan Stout agreeing to terms.
- Team expectations point to frequent 12 and 22 personnel, with Likely and Theo Johnson on the field together and Likely often aligning in the slot as a de facto No. 2 target.
- Likely credited quarterback Jaxson Dart for helping seal his decision, saying “He got me here,” as the second-year QB engages closely with new additions.
- The reshaped offense follows the departure of 1,000-yard slot receiver Wan’Dale Robinson to the Titans, raising questions about how New York replaces his underneath production.
