The Cleveland Browns and Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward agree to a two-year contract extension valued at $62.2 million, according to multiple reports. The extension is described as making Ward the highest-paid defensive back in the NFL, with Fox Sports and Yahoo Sports reporting he regains that distinction. Several outlets cite contract figures indicating more than $31 million per season. Yahoo Sports reports that the deal includes $52.3 million in guaranteed money. Other coverage describes the Browns signing Ward, who has been drafted by Cleveland in 2018 and is a three-time straight Pro Bowl selection in recent seasons. While details vary slightly by outlet in how they phrase the ranking (highest-paid cornerback versus highest-paid defensive back), the underlying agreement is consistent across sources: the Browns extend Ward’s contract for two additional years on a record-setting total and guarantee. The Athletic also reports the agreement, adding that Ward has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons.
