TE Isaiah Likely reportedly joining Giants, ex-coach John Harbaugh

Free agent tight end Isaiah Likely agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the New York Giants worth up to $40 million on Monday, according to multiple reports.

Likely, 25, was drafted in the fourth round by John Harbaugh and the Ravens in 2022 and flashed the athleticism to become a superstar during four seasons in Baltimore.

Likely had 135 catches for 1,568 yards and 15 touchdowns in 63 games (26 starts) while sharing time and targets with Mark Andrews, who signed a new deal in December worth $39.3 million to stay in Baltimore.

Another free agent exiting the Ravens to join Harbaugh and the Giants is Baltimore punter Jordan Stout. His new deal can also be signed on Wednesday at the start of the NFL league year and will make him the league’s highest-paid punter, according to reports. Stout can make $12.3 million over three years, NFL Network and ESPN reported.

Likely joins an offense with emerging Theo Johnson at tight end. Johnson, 25, caught 45 passes for 528 yards and five touchdowns in 2025. He was selected by the Giants in the fourth round of the 2024 draft.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson off injury report; TE Isaiah Likely out

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is off the injury report for Thursday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but tight end Isaiah Likely has been ruled out.

Jackson was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice and does not carry a game status.

Likely (hamstring) did not practice all week and was ruled out along with defensive end Brent Urban (concussion). Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis (knee) is doubtful and RB Keaton Mitchell, who returned to practice this week, is listed as questionable. Mitchell (knee) would have to be activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list Thursday in order to play.

Jackson missed practice Tuesday, listed with a knee injury, but coach John Harbaugh said then that the two-time MVP would play against the Bengals (4-5) without getting into specifics of him missing practice.

Behind Jackson, the Ravens (6-3) lead the league in total yards and rank second in scoring.
