Welcome to NFL News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to NFL fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. The New York Giants kicked off the NFL Free Agency tampering period by agreeing to a $3-year $40 million deal with Tide and Isaiah. Likely. This move reunites him with new head coach John Harbour, who just left the Baltimore Ravens. Likely joins as a key weapon for second-year quarterback, Jackson Dart. He spent four seasons as the number two Tide end, behind Mark Andrews in Baltimore. He flashed big playability with an average of 11.6 yards per catch and 15 touchdowns. But his production stayed limited, topping out of 42 catches and 477 yards in a season. Experts handed out wildly split grades on the signing. ESPN gave a B-plus, calling him an upgrade over the Giants current Tide end Theo Johnson. Sports loved it with a name minus, noting his size and speed fit perfectly with injuries to other receivers. On the flip side, CBS Sports stuck a C-plus, worried about his disappearing acts and the

risks of big-tightened contracts. Walter football blasted it as a million grade, saying $40 million is an overpay that blocks Johnson's promise. Analysts agree, Mike Lee has upside at age 26, but whether he becomes Dart's reliable target remains the big question as Free Agency heats up.
