Yahoo Sports NFL on Isaiah Likely

Likely signed to $40M deal to draw coverage away from Nabers and elevate Giants' passing game.

Isaiah Likely signed a three-year, $40 million contract with the Giants in the offseason after four seasons with the Ravens. His role is to complement Malik Nabers by drawing defensive coverage away from the Giants' top target. Likely stated his intent: "Just being out there, trying to help Leek take as much, I want to say, double-bracket as much as he sees as possible to have him have his life be easy." This complementary role positions Likely as a secondary receiving option designed to reduce Nabers' defensive load.
