Rams lock up TE Higbee through 2023

The Los Angeles Rams and tight end Tyler Higbee agreed to terms Thursday on a four-year extension through 2023. Terms were not disclosed, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the deal vaults Higbee into the top 10 at his position.

Higbee, 26, was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.9 million rookie contract signed in 2016. A fourth-round pick in 2016 out of Western Kentucky, Higbee has played in all 48 games (39 starts) and caught 60 passes for 672 yards and four touchdowns over the last three seasons.

Higbee caught 24 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns for the NFC champions in 2018, adding six receptions for 55 yards and a score in the postseason.
