The Rams and Parkinson agreed to terms of a three-year, $22.5 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Parkinson thus will get a chance to serve as L.A.'s top tight end in 2024 until Tyler Higbee completes his recovery from ACL and MCL tears that he sustained in the team's wild-card loss to the Rams in January. Considering the damage to Higbee's right now, that may result in Parkinson handling TE duties for a good portion of the upcoming campaign, assuming the Rams don't make any big splashes at the position this offseason. Parkinson was modestly productive for the Seahawks the last two seasons, combining for a 50-569-4 line on 68 targets in 34 games.

Parkinson was modestly productive for the Seahawks the last two seasons, combining for a 50-569-4 line on 68 targets in 34 games.
Parkinson drew a questionable designation after back-to-back limited practices to finish the week. After testing things out pregame, the training staff has given him the green light. Barring any setbacks, he will be availible to provide depth at tight end and contribute via special teams.
Parkinson played just 18 offensive snaps, finishing behind Noah Fant (33) and Will Dissly (22). It was his first targetless game of the season, as he has produced 11 catches for 132 yards on 17 targets through seven games.
