As he entered the final year of his initial deal, Higbee secured a four-year, $29 million extension with the Rams. His base salary for 2023 was set at $6.25 million when he agreed to another three-year contract extension worth $27 million.
In the 2023 season, Higbee made an impact by participating in 15 games, where he recorded 47 receptions on 70 targets, totaling 495 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
