Rams, Higbee agree to 2-year extension

The Los Angeles Rams and tight end Tyler Higbee agreed to a two-year extension that will keep him with the team through 2025, the team announced Friday.

Higbee, who was in the final year of his contract, will earn $27 million over the next two seasons, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report. The deal reportedly contains $17 million guaranteed and is worth a maximum of $30.5 million.

The 30-year-old caught a career-high 72 passes last season for 620 yards and three touchdowns. He's been a regular starter for the Rams since 2017.

Los Angeles drafted Higbee in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
