Overview
Isaiah Likely signed with the Giants in free agency in March 2026 on a three-year deal worth up to $40 million, with $20.5 million fully guaranteed, reuniting him with head coach John Harbaugh, who coached him in Baltimore. The Ravens drafted Likely in the fourth round, 141st overall, out of Coastal Carolina in 2022, where he caught 133 passes for 2,050 yards and 27 touchdowns.
Likely spent four seasons in Baltimore in a complementary role behind Mark Andrews. In his Giants debut, the 28-20 win over Dallas in Harbaugh's coaching debut, Likely caught all eight of his targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns, New York's most productive red-zone target that day.
At 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, Likely gives the Giants a vertical seam threat, and the team has signaled it will move him around the formation rather than keep him in-line. With Nabers' availability uncertain at times and Wan'Dale Robinson gone from the slot, his target share is expected to stay high.
