The Cleveland Browns have reached an agreement with cornerback Denzel Ward on a two-year contract extension worth $62.2 million, making him the NFL's highest-paid player at his position once again.

The five-time Pro Bowl selection will receive $52.3 million in guaranteed money as part of the deal, according to sources who spoke with ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The agreement ensures Ward remains a key component of the Browns' defense for the foreseeable future.
