Colby Parkinson, a free-agent tight end formerly with the Seattle Seahawks, has agreed to a three-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams valued at $22.5 million, including $15.5 million guaranteed. Parkinson, who is 25 years old and one of the youngest unrestricted free agents on the market, previously played at Stanford and attended Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village, California, before his time with the Seahawks. His new deal places him among the top ten largest free-agent tight end contracts signed with a new team from 2016 to 2024. The contract negotiation was handled by agent Steve Caric. The move is significant for the Rams, especially with veteran TE Tyler Higbee recovering from a season-ending knee injury. Parkinson's agreement with the Rams also includes a clause that allows him to void the deal after two years if he hits certain performance numbers.
