  "account": "1. Tight end Isaiah Likely signed a three-year, $40 million contract with the Giants, with a potential value of up to $47.5 million. Likely's move to New York comes after a down 2025 season where he caught only 27 passes for 307 yards and one touchdown.\n\n2. Likely's athleticism and playmaking ability were on full display during his first regular-season game with the Giants, as he scored two touchdowns against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium. In his previous season with Baltimore, Likely had 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns before suffering a foot injury that hampered his performance.\n\n3. Tight end Jaxson Dart's motion-oriented abilities and versatility have proven to be a great fit for Likely's game. Dart's off-script plays complement Likely's skill set, making them an effective duo in the Giants' offensive strategy.",
