Browns Pick Up Fifth-Year Options on Baker Mayfield and Denzel Ward Browns have reportedly picked up the fifth-year options of their two, first-round picks in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Cleveland secures fifth-year option The Browns exercised Ward's $13.3 million fifth-year option for the 2022 season on Friday, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.
Impact The 23-year-old has been a key piece in the secondary for Cleveland since being drafted fourth overall during the 2018 draft, with the biggest concern being that he's missed 11 games across his first three seasons. Ward recorded 46 tackles (38 solo), two interceptions, 18 passes defensed and one forced fumble over 12 games in 2020, and he's now officially under contract for the next two years.
