The carpet is still red in Browns Town.

Wide receiver Rashard Higgins reached an agreement Tuesday to re-sign with the Browns on a one-year contract worth $910,000, a league source told the Beacon Journal. Higgins turned down more money to play elsewhere, the source said.

Higgins had been an unrestricted free agent since March 18, but he'll return to Cleveland, where he spent the past four seasons and became a fan favorite known for pretending to walk a red carpet during touchdown celebrations and flaunting his "Hollywood" nickname.

Higgins established noticeable chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield and posted a career-high 39 catches for 572 yards and four touchdowns in 2018.

However, last year proved to be disastrous for the 25-year-old wide receiver.

Higgins suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament Sept. 8 in the season opener and later clashed with former Browns coach Freddie Kitchens after the two of them had a public disagreement over when the player was healthy enough to return to action.

Higgins insisted he was ready to come back after missing three games. Yet Kitchens argued Higgins wasn't ready and kept him sidelined for two additional games, five total.

Higgins caught a game-winning, 7-yard touchdown pass from Mayfield on Nov. 10 against the Buffalo Bills with 1:44 remaining in the fourth quarter. But Higgins went on to lose his status as the team's No. 3 receiver behind starters Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. Damion Ratley and KhaDarel Hodge received more playing time, and in the last quarter of the season, Higgins didn't log a single snap on offense and was inactive in the finale.

His clutch catch against the Bills was his last reception of the year. He finished with just four catches for 55 yards and a TD in 10 games.

Despite the adversity, Higgins told the Beacon Journal in late December he wanted to remain with the Browns, who drafted him in the fifth round (No. 172 overall) out of Colorado State University in 2016, when new General Manager Andrew Berry served as the franchise's vice president of player personnel.

The Browns cut Higgins on Sept. 3, 2017, but signed him to the practice squad two days later and brought him back to the active roster two weeks later. He played last year on a one-year, $2.025 million contract he signed as a restricted free agent.

"The fans are wonderful," he told the Beacon Journal in the buildup to the Dec. 22 home finale. "A lot of people say they’re the best in the world, and I kind of feel like that, too. They’ve been a big supporting cast for me ... just because what I’ve been through and them feeling my story, how I became who I am today, me getting cut [in 2017], still working hard and making the squad, being somebody that wants to be here."

Now Higgins is expected to be in the mix again for the No. 3 receiver job along with Ratley, Hodge and Donovan Peoples-Jones, whom the Browns drafted Saturday in the sixth round (No. 187 overall) out of Michigan.
