A field-stretching tight end who left Baltimore in 2026 free agency for a featured role with the Giants.
Isaiah Likely is a tight end for the New York Giants, signed in 2026 free agency after four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. A Coastal Carolina product who spent his Ravens tenure behind Mark Andrews, he joins New York with a chance to be the focal point of the position.
Path to the league
Likely was a fourth-round pick of the Ravens in the 2022 draft out of Coastal Carolina. He spent four years in Baltimore primarily as a complement to All-Pro tight end Mark Andrews, flashing as a movement piece and red-zone threat when given snaps.
Career highlights
Across his Ravens career, Likely built a reputation as a dynamic pass-catching tight end whose production was capped by Andrews' presence atop the depth chart. The Giants signed him in 2026 to a reported three-year deal worth roughly $40 million, with incentives pushing the value toward $47.5 million, betting he breaks out as a No. 1 option.
2025 season
Likely appeared in 14 games with six starts for Baltimore in 2025, totaling 27 catches for 307 yards and a touchdown. He hit free agency that offseason and signed with the Giants, who plan to give him a larger share of the target volume he lacked in Baltimore.
