Ravens, cornerback Marlon Humphrey agree to five-year, $98.75 million extension, per reports
The Baltimore Ravens and Marlon Humphrey have agreed to an extension that will keep one of the best cornerbacks in the league in Baltimore.
The agreement, according to multiple reports, will pay him like one, too. The deal — five years and $98.75 million ($19.75 million per year) — includes $66 million guaranteed and makes him the second-highest paid corner in the league.
Jalen Ramsey and the Los Angeles Rams agreed on the largest cornerback deal three weeks ago with a five-year, $105 million extension.
The No. 16 overall pick in the 2017 draft out of Alabama, Humphrey made an immediate impact as a rookie, appearing in all 16 games. After consecutive seasons with two interceptions, he picked off three passes with 14 pass breakups and two forced fumbles (and returned two fumbles for touchdowns) in 2019. He also set career bests in tackles (65 combined, 53 solo) and tackles-for-loss (four).
Those numbers helped Humphrey earn his first Pro Bowl selection and first-team All-Pro honors last year. So far in 2020, Humphrey has an interception and a forced fumble.
