Patriots Eye Ravens' Likely for Tight End Boost
10 Feb
Summary
- Patriots' season ended with a Super Bowl loss to the Seahawks.
- Hunter Henry remains starter; Likely a complementary option.
- Likely posted 15 touchdowns in four seasons with the Ravens.
The New England Patriots' season concluded with a 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, prompting a strategic shift towards roster evaluation for the next season. A key area identified for potential improvement is the tight end position. NBC Sports Boston's Justin Leger proposed the Patriots consider acquiring Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely.
Likely would serve as a valuable complementary piece to the established starter, Hunter Henry, especially if the Patriots do not draft a tight end early. Over his four seasons with the Ravens, Likely has amassed 135 receptions for 1,568 yards and 15 touchdowns in 63 games. His potential availability this offseason could spark a competitive bidding situation, as he might return to Baltimore or join the New York Giants under former coach John Harbaugh. The Cleveland Browns, having hired former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, also present a potential landing spot.
