Browns Sign Denzel Ward to Record Extension, Star Corner Has Played Well Against Bengals

CINCINNATI — The Browns are signing cornerback Denzel Ward to a five-year, $100.5 million contract extension according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 24-year-old is the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history. The deal includes $71.25 million guaranteed.

Ward has established himself as one of the leagues best cornerbacks. The Browns picked him with the fourth overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft.
