NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported the Los Angeles Rams signed tight end Tyler Higbee to a 2-year contract on Thursday night.
Tight end Tyler Higbee has never played for any NFL team besides the Los Angeles Rams. That’s very likely going to remain the case for a few more years.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported Thursday night the Rams signed Higbee to a 2-year, $8 million contract. The deal will prevent the tight end from testing free agency next week.
“Higbee remains a valuable player and leader for Sean McVay and the locker room as the Rams’ all-time leader among TEs in receptions, yards and TDs,” wrote Schultz.
In a quote tweet, Schultz added: “Tyler Higbee has been in LA since the Rams moved there. He’s an essential component to Sean McVay’s offense and is now secured for two more years.”
Minutes after Schultz’ report, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport also reported Higbee and the Rams agreed to a new deal.
Unless traded or released during the 2-year agreement, Higbee will complete 12 seasons with the team. The tight end turned 33 in January.
