Ward (neck) and the Browns have agreed to a two-year, $62.2 million contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Ward's new deal -- which includes $52.3 million guaranteed -- makes him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history for the second time in his career. The 29-year-old corner was limited during team drills in minicamp last month, but he's presumably past the issue ahead of training camp. Ward is set to reprise his starting role in 2026.
