Former Cleveland Browns WR Rashard Higgins and LB Christian Kirksey are both signing one-day contracts and will retire as members of the team, the Browns announced today.
Higgins spent 2016-2021 with the Browns after being a fifth-round pick by the team out of Colorado State in the 2016 NFL Draft. He headed to Carolina in 2022 for a stint with the Panthers, but he didn’t record a reception in his three games with the Panthers. That was his last NFL action. For his career, he caught 137 passes for 1,890 yards and 12 touchdowns. The announcement by the Browns also said that Higgins is an active member of the Cleveland community and has volunteered at numerous events, including ones for military causes and Special Olympics.
