The Baltimore Ravens signed cornerback Marlon Humphrey to a five-year contract extension Thursday.
Humphrey will be with Baltimore through the 2026 season. The financial terms weren’t disclosed. ESPN reported that his deal is worth $ 98.75 million, which would make him the second-highest-paid cornerback behind Los Angeles Rams star Jalen Ramsey.
