They just pulled off a big trade to get all pro-corner back Trent McDuffy from the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, they brought back veteran tight-end Tyler Higby on a new deal for the 2026 season. Higby, a 33-year-old who spent his whole career with the Rams, dealt with major injuries over the last two years, including a torn ACL. Still, he showed reliability last season, with 11 catches for 347 yards and 5 touchdowns. The tight-end group, as a whole, exploded, combining for over 1,000 yards in 17 scores. Fans are buzzing about these moves, scenes need locking key pieces from last year like running back Kyron Williams, linebacker Nate Landman, and defensive back quentin Lake. They've also added back tight-end Higby, kicker Harrison Mevis and others. Cutting their list of departing free agents from 20, down to just, 13.
