10 highest-paid cornerbacks in NFL after Bears extend Jaylon Johnson on $76,000,000, 4-year deal

Ranking the ten highest-paid NFL cornerbacks today

10) Charvarius Ward ($14 million)

Super Bowl LVIII - San Francisco 49ers Media Availability

Kicking off the list is Charvarius Ward. After joining the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2018, he immediately became a vital part of their then-burgeoning dynasty, reaching four straight AFC Championship Games and winning a Super Bowl in two appearances.

But when he hit free agency for the second time in 2021, there was a sense that he was undervalued when compared to then-emergent sophomore L'Jarius Sneed. The skeptics were proven right when Ward left for the San Francisco 49ers for three years and $42 million. But he has justified the decision very well to the tune of an All-Pro and Pro Bowl.
