Giants Sign Likely, Shake Up Tight End Spot
Description
The New York Giants have signed tight end Isaiah Likely to a three-year, $40 million contract, intensifying competition for fourth-round pick Theo Johnson. Likelys arrival disrupts the tight end spot, previously dominated by Johnsons 2025 performance. Johnson, who caught 45 of 74 targets for 528 yards and 5 TDs, now faces stiff competition. Likely, with a connection to new head coach John Harbaugh, is the early favorite for pass-catching reps. The Giants also re-signed blocking specialist Chris Manhertz, indicating a focus on depth. Expect a tight end rotation in 2026, with Johnson still playing a significant role.
