Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the agreement, led by Jordan Schultz with confirmations from Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, with the AP noting a max value of $8 million via incentives as the team has yet to announce it.
  • Higbee, 33, remains the Rams’ longest-tenured player and the franchise leader among tight ends with 386 receptions, 3,949 yards and 27 touchdowns.
  • After an ACL tear in 2023 and a November 2025 ankle injury, he played 10 games last season with 25 catches for 281 yards and three touchdowns, then returned for the playoffs.
  • With Higbee under contract, all four of last season’s primary tight ends are signed for 2026 following a 2025 shift to frequent three-tight-end sets led in production by Colby Parkinson.
  • The deal is markedly smaller than his 2019 and 2023 extensions, reflecting age and recent injuries, with reports also noting he had considered retirement before opting to stay.
