Browns Signing S Grant Delpit to 3-Year Contract Extension
The deals secure two veteran leaders for a secondary the Browns say could rank among the league's best.
- On Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns extended safety Grant Delpit for three years, a day after cornerback Denzel Ward signed a two-year extension. Both deals finalized immediately before the team's first training camp practice.
- These moves solidify the Browns' secondary following their June trade of two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. Ward and Delpit remain the franchise's two longest-tenured players.
- Cornerback Denzel Ward signed a two-year, $62.2 million extension including $53.2 million guaranteed, making him the NFL's highest-paid defensive back for the second time in his career. The deal was finalized prior to practice.
- Safety Grant Delpit secured a three-year extension worth up to $48 million with $35 million guaranteed, keeping him in Cleveland through the 2029 season. David Mulugheta of Athletes First negotiated the deal.
- General manager Andrew Berry secured both veterans to anchor a secondary featuring newcomers like Tyson Campbell and rookie Emmanuel McNeill-Warren. Ward and Delpit's leadership remains critical as the Browns begin their 2026 campaign.
