The Cardinals are investing further in the tight end position.
Tight end Elijah Higgins has agreed to a three-year extension, according to a joint report from ESPN and NFL Network.
Higgins’ deal is worth up to $26.8 million and puts him under contract through 2029.
A sixth-round pick in 2023, Higgins was waived by the Dolphins at roster cuts as a rookie. But he was claimed by the Cardinals and has been with the club ever since.
Higgins has played 54 games with 23 starts, tallying 82 catches for 798 yards with four touchdowns.
Playing alongside start tight end Trey McBride, Higgins has 18 receptions for 162 yards with a touchdown in nine games so far in 2026.
