Rams, Tyler Higbee Agree on Two-Year Deal

Thursday, March 5, 3:51 PM

The Los Angeles Rams and tight end Tyler Higbee agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal on Thursday, agent Erik Burkhardt told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Higbee has struggled to stay healthy the last two years, playing in a combined 13 regular-season games, but the 33-year-old veteran will return to L.A. In 10 regular-season contests last year, he caught 25 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets. The 10-year-old veteran has never topped 734 receiving yards or five touchdowns in a single season since being taken in the fourth round by the Rams in 2016 out of Western Kentucky, and that's unlikely to happen in his 11th season in 2026. Higbee has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Matthew Stafford, but the Rams will likely continue to run a lot of two-tight-end sets that also include Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson. Higbee will have a limited ceiling and low floor while sharing targets with Parkinson and Ferguson again next season.

Terrance Ferguson Could Take Big Step Forward in 2026

Wednesday, June 24, 9:42 AM

The Los Angeles Rams have a crowded group of tight ends entering the 2026 season, but several people in the Rams' building have pointed to Terrance Ferguson as a player they think will take a step forward this year, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Fellow TE Tyler Higbee said that the position is "one of the tougher" spots to transition from college to the NFL, but that Ferguson has "got it." "He's going to be a great player," Higbee said. The 23-year-old caught just 11 passes on 25 targets for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 regular-season games (three starts) in 2025 after the Rams took him in the second round (46th overall) out of the University of Oregon. The Rams took Max Klare in the second round back in April, and they also have Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen at the position, making it an uphill battle for regular targets at the position in an offense where both receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams will continue to draw most of the aerial targets from quarterback Matthew Stafford. Ferguson might have the most long-term pass-catching upside of anyone in the Rams' TE room, but fantasy managers are going to have to play the long game here.
