LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Tight end Tyler Higbee has agreed to a two-year contract extension to begin his second decade with the Los Angeles Rams<\/a>, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday night because the Rams hadn’t announced the deal to keep Higbee, the most productive tight end in franchise history and the longest-tenured player on the roster. His new deal could be worth $8 million with incentives.<\/p>\n
