Rams Sign Tyler Higbee to Tight End Extension

0:00On this March 6, here's what's making headlines for the NFL. The Los Angeles Rams have signed Titan Tyler Higby to a two-year contract extension. This deal brings him back starting in 2026 and keeps him with the team through the end of the 2027 season. Higby has been a key veteran leader and reliable blocker for the franchise. This move adds depth to an already strong Titan group that includes Terence Ferguson, Davis Allen, and Colby Parkinson. Fans worried it might block a run at drafting top prospect Kenyan Sadik from Oregon, but experts say the extension does not impact that at all. The Rams hold the 13th overall pick, and Sadik likely goes earlier anyway. Many see this as a smart step to boost the team's 13 personnel package, which uses three tight ends on offense. Last season, that setup helped quarterback Matthew Stafford put a consistent numbers with precise passes and few mistakes. Now with Higby locked in, coaches can expand those plays while keeping him healthy for playoffs. The signing sets of Ferguson perfectly as a dynamic receiver.

Overall, this keeps the Rams competitive at the position heading into the offseason. Expect more tweaks to maximize their tight end talent next year.
