"Likely, 25, is one of the most talented tight ends available in free agency, but he is coming off the worst season of his four-year career. After missing the first three games of the season with a small fracture in his right foot, Likely finished with career lows in receptions (27), receiving yards (307) and touchdowns (one)."
"Likely showed flashes of being a playmaker in 2024, when he filled in as Baltimore's starting tight end. With Mark Andrews sidelined for the final six games that season, Likely proved dangerous after the catch and led the Ravens with 322 yards receiving and five touchdown catches."
"The Ravens were unable to reach a contract extension with Likely despite engaging in talks over the past year. Likely was expected to depart Baltimore after the Ravens signed Andrews to a three-year, $39.2 million contract in December."
Isaiah Likely, a 25-year-old tight end, agreed to a three-year contract with the New York Giants, reuniting him with head coach John Harbaugh. Likely experienced his worst season in 2024, recording career lows with 27 receptions, 307 receiving yards, and one touchdown after missing the first three games with a foot fracture. The season included critical fumbles in consecutive games against Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. However, Likely demonstrated playmaking ability in 2023 when he started for Baltimore, accumulating 322 receiving yards and five touchdowns while Mark Andrews was sidelined. The Ravens could not reach a contract extension with Likely despite negotiations, leading to his departure after Baltimore signed Andrews to a long-term deal.
