Cardinals extend tight end Elijah Higgins amid receiver injuries

The Arizona Cardinals have reportedly extended tight end Elijah Higgins on a three-year, $26.8 million contract, ensuring he remains with the team through the 2029 season. This follows the prior extension of tight end Trey McBride, making Arizona the only team with over $100 million committed to their top two tight ends. The Cardinals' receiving corps has been severely impacted by injuries, leaving them relying heavily on tight ends. With key wideouts sidelined, Higgins is expected to take on a larger role alongside McBride as the team adapts its offensive strategy moving forward.
