New York Giants What Giants could do at tight end in the 2026 NFL Draft By Paul Schwartz Published April 7, 2026, 6:10 p.m. ET Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (80) in action against the Cincinnati Bengals. AP This team already did plenty at this position, signing Isaiah Likely to a three-year deal worth $40 million — the biggest contract the Giants handed out in free agency this cycle.
Head coach John Harbaugh knows Likely extremely well, based on their four seasons together, and it is clear Harbaugh believes Likely only scratched the surface of his potential in Baltimore.
Harbaugh also praised Theo Johnson, who has too many lapses but can be productive (45 catches for 528 yards and five TDs in 2025) and is a huge target.
Chris Manhertz, primarily a blocker, was re-signed, and 2025 seventh-round pick Thomas Fidone II returns after an inconsequential rookie year.
