The Rams have a deep tight end room and intend to keep it that way, signing veteran Tyler Higbee to a new two-year contract on Thursday according to his agents. Higbee received $8 million over two years, making him a relatively inexpensive tight end option to combine with Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson in 2026.
This guarantees that Higbee will be with the Rams for his 11th season, at least.
The former fourth round pick had 25 catches for 281 yards last season, appearing in 10 games. In the playoffs, he had four catches for 84 yards. Those modest totals look more impressive given that Higbee missed almost all of 2024 while recovering from a torn ACL. Higbee won’t be one of Matthew Stafford’s top-three receiving options next season, but provides blocking, leadership, and experience to a Rams team hoping to reach the Super Bowl after just falling short of that goal last season.
The Rams also have Davis Allen under contract for one more year. Between these four tight ends, the Rams don’t seem to be pulling back on 12 and 13-personnel usage in 2026.
