Giants' Theo Johnson: Joined by Likely
Theo Johnson (illness) faces added target competition after the New York Giants signed Isaiah Likely to a three-year, $40 million contract Monday, Albert Breer of SI.com reports.Johnson, a 2024 fourth-round pick, emerged as New York's clear top tight end in 2025 while securing 45 of 74 targets for 528 and five touchdowns across 15 regular-season appearances, but Likely's contract and familiarity with new head coach John Harbaugh make him the favorite to lead the position in pass-catching reps. That said, Johnson figures to remain in a significant role on offense and the Giants made it a priority to re-sign blocking specialist Chris Manhertz prior to the start of free agency. It won't be surprising if New York deploys a heavy rotation at right end during the 2026 season. Johnson missed the final two games of 2025 due to an illness but should be fully healthy to begin offseason activities.

He played in each of the first 15 games, catching 45 of 74 targets for 528 yards and five touchdowns.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Blanked on two Week 16 targets
Theo Johnson didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.Johnson was a non-factor as Jaxson Dart threw for just 33 yards. Prior to Sunday's goose egg, Johnson had caught at least three passes in eight consecutive games. Johnson will likely be more involved if the New York Giants turn to a more balanced approach in Week 17 against the Raiders after this run-heavy loss.
