Ahead of Sunday’s trip to Indianapolis for Week 4, Los Angeles Rams tight end \ufeffTyler Higbee\ufeff received another pay day.<\/p>\n
Higbee and the club agreed to a two-year contract extension worth a base value of $27 million with $17 million guaranteed, and a max of $30.5 million with incentives, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Friday, per sources.<\/p>\n
The club later announced the new deal through the 2025 season.<\/p>\n
The tight end entered the season on the final year of his contract. The extension boosts Higbee’s new money to $13.5 million in per-year average, ninth-most among TEs. In 2019, Higbee signed a four-year, $29 million extension ($7.25 million annually).<\/p>\n
A 2016 fourth-round pick, Higbee has worked himself into a reliable pass catcher in Sean McVay’s offense. The 30-year-old currently owns the franchise record for tight ends in catches (317), yards (3,239) and touchdowns (20). In three games in 2023, Higbee has generated 11 catches for 132 yards.<\/p>\n
Now for the not-so-fun news: McVay said Friday that Higbee is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Colts due to an Achilles issue.<\/p>\n
