Mark this one down as a bit of a surprise.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Rams are finalizing a four-year extension for TE Tyler Higbee:
Another extension for the Rams, who reach agreement with TE Tyler Higbee on a 4-year deal that ties him to the team through 2023 season and makes him a top 10 paid TE, per source. Rams and @ErikBurkhardt finalizing deal this morning.

It’s a very interesting move given the timing of things on the tight end depth chart.
