Giants Ink Likely to $40M Deal, Harbaugh Era Begins
9 Mar
Summary
- Giants sign tight end Isaiah Likely to a three-year, $40 million contract.
- Ravens coach John Harbaugh and punter Jordan Stout also join the Giants.
- New York enters free agency with over $14 million in cap space.
The New York Giants are making significant moves in the current league year, headlined by the signing of tight end Isaiah Likely to a three-year contract valued at $40 million. This acquisition is part of a broader influx of talent from Baltimore, as longtime Ravens coach John Harbaugh is set to lead the Giants.
Likely is expected to be a key component of the Giants' offensive unit, which will be directed by offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and built around quarterback Jaxson Dart. The team has also secured punter Jordan Stout on a three-year deal worth $12.3 million, further bolstering their roster.
These signings occur as the Giants, under Harbaugh and general manager Joe Schoen, entered free agency with approximately $14 million in salary cap space. Moves to create financial flexibility, such as the release of linebacker Bobby Okereke, indicate a strategic roster overhaul. The team also holds the fifth pick in the upcoming draft, with a focus on addressing major needs through free agency.
