Rams re-sign TE Tyler Higbee for 4 years through 2023
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Tight end Tyler Higbee has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams announced the deal Thursday.
Higbee’s new deal runs through the 2023 season.
Higbee has played in every game during his three seasons with the Rams, who drafted him in the fourth round out of Western Kentucky in 2016. He has 60 career catches for 672 yards and four touchdowns, and he is a dependable blocker on runs and passes.
Higbee had four catches in the NFC championship game in New Orleans.
Coach Sean McVay’s offense doesn’t make extensive use of a tight end as a receiver, but Higbee and fellow tight end Gerald Everett have both made key receptions for the Rams during his tenure.
