Tyler Higbee Signs Rams Extension, Retirement Plans Scrapped

0:00On March 6, Los Angeles Rams tied in Tyler Higby has signed a two-year contract extension worth up to $8 million, scrapping his plans to retire. Earlier this week, coach Sean McVey made it clear the team wanted Higby back if he chose to keep playing, especially as he headed into free agency. A fourth-round draft pick back in 2016, Higby has spent his entire 10-year career with the Rams and owns the franchise records for tight. Ands in receiving yards and touchdown catches. Now 33 years old, he will enter his 11th NFL season as the longest serving player on the roster, coming off a year where injuries limited him. Despite missing time last season and the one before with a torn ACL, this deal keeps a proven veteran in the fold to help the Rams push forward.
