The Arizona Cardinals signed tight end Elijah Higgins to a three-year contract extension Friday, keeping him under contract through the 2029 season.

Higgins could have become a free agent after the season. He had 18 catches for 162 yards and a touchdown at the time of the extension. Arizona originally claimed Higgins on waivers, and the fourth-year player told the team’s website that he could be called on more in the passing game with the Cardinals short on experience at wide receiver.
