Keep in mind that 2024 was an outlier. He missed the entire first part of the season recovering from the torn ACL he got from that POS Darby the season prior. Higbee didn't even suit up for his first game until December 22.
I was reluctant to re-sign Higbee also until I saw him go nuts against the Cards a couple months ago, in January. 5 catches for 91 yards and a TD. He's still got some gas left.
Higbee my favorite Ram. Great deal. McVay will not have anyone who doesn't pour their heart into the job. Says alot about Higbee.

To me this signing is smart for both sides.
Higbee can continue a ring of honor career with the Rams and pursue another ring.
For the Rams he can help the young players as a good team guy....a bit of a player-coach for young players like Ferguson and provide a good blocker and absolutely great depth.
Pretty cheap deal.....I like it.
Love me some Higs.

I wonder how much of this is also not that we need 4 tight ends but that we need two Ys and two Fs. Allen can't really play in line. They say Fergy can but I've always been a little doubtful that that's his best usage or that he'll ultimately be able to handle the blocking there.
Parkinson is a Y through and through and Higs is a Y.
Yes we want to play three tight end sets or some 12 personnel but you can't just line up these guys anywhere and expect them to have the same success. Fergy or Allen aren't gonna align on the line and have as much success run blocking there from either 13 or 12 personnel.
I bet we did this partly cause we need another Y.
You could argue that we could get a Y in the draft but I'd argue that the transition to the pros at Y is harder and longer than it is at F where you can fudge some things and focus the player on fewer assignments.

He will go all out to win a Super Bowl in So-fi and has plenty left in the tank. He’s our best ever TE so it puzzles me why some dont like us resigning such a great Ram player on close to vet minimum? I am looking forward to watching him for another season. There are few better all round TEs in the league especially who play in-line

If the Rams don’t pick the ones I want in the draft, it will probably be because I was wrong.
HigBEAST is back.What a FREAKING LEADER!!
You said it BEST !! EVER !!He was a Ram before both Allen & Woods(Trees).
True Rams HOF player.He still has a lot in the tank.His injuries over the years & will to get back healthy only makes him stronger.
This will be a thing that Mcvay & HIG’s will go down in NFL History with a next GEN O
Higs is the best Rams TE ever? bastids!!! ~ Roland Williams
No complaints here. I thought big rig Higs was a goner for sure, but this seems like a solid re-sign for the money.
Glad to have him back!

There is ALWAYS a place for a Frank and Estelle Costanza mention.
If I had the strength, patience, and pettiness, I would look up what some of our posters said about Higs being shot, to contrast their views with what McVay and the organization think! 
He loves us and as much as we love him and took a team friendly deal to try and help us win a SB at So-Fi
LEGEND!

- Total Cap: $301.2 million per club. So my quick math 1.32802125%, The other TEs total $13,382,185. The Rams are getting cap value at the TE position. Higs isn't costing much, relatively speaking. He is a team leader too. Glad to have him back.
