Overview
- NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported at the Combine that several teams are very high on Isaiah Likely and view him as a potential No. 1 tight end.
- Lamar Jackson publicly urged Baltimore to keep Likely, tagging the Ravens’ account in an X reply to a post about the tight end’s free agency.
- General manager Eric DeCosta said the Ravens would like to retain Likely, signaling interest despite a crowded depth chart at tight end.
- Baltimore extended Mark Andrews on a three-year, roughly $39.3 million deal in December 2025, a move that, along with broader cap priorities, complicates a second significant contract at the position.
- Likely, 25, is coming off a foot injury and career-low totals in 2025 and has never topped 60% of snaps in a season, factors that shape both his valuation and his pursuit of a larger role.
