Re-signed by the Rams for 2026 on a two-year deal worth up to $8 million with only half guaranteed—well below his previous contract. Now 33 and entering his 11th season as the Rams' longest-tenured player, Higbee is unlikely to hold a feature role in the offense given the team's fully stocked tight end room. His role will depend on how the younger tight ends (Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare) are deployed; if they function as pseudo-WR#3, Higbee should see fair rotation work. He remains a better blocker than both youngsters and Sean McVay/Matthew Stafford are comfortable targeting him on screen passes, but injury durability is a concern at his age.

Tyler Higbee's absence directly enabled Parkinson's breakout. Parkinson had the best season of his career in 2025 after taking advantage of Higbee being out of the lineup. From Weeks 12-17 when Higbee was sidelined, Parkinson posted 24 receptions on 32 targets for 249 yards and four touchdowns, compared to 15 receptions on 17 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns in Weeks 1-11 with Higbee in the lineup. Despite Higbee returning in the regular season finale against Arizona, Parkinson started all three playoff games while Higbee had four receptions on six targets for 84 yards and no scores, indicating a potential depth chart shift heading into 2026.
