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

5) Marlon Humphrey ($19.5 million)

Carolina Panthers v Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens have been best known for their hard-hitting and very successful linebackers, from Ray Lewis to Terrell Suggs and more recently Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen. However, they have also had a proud lineage of top-notch defensive backs, from Rod Woodson, Chris McAllister, and Ed Reed to more recently Marcus Peters, Earl Thomas, and Kyle Hamilton.

But Marlon Humphrey is a cut above the current crop. After a massive breakout 2020 campaign that saw him force more fumbles than anyone en route to an All-Pro and Pro Bowl, he was rewarded with a five-year, $97.5-million extension. He has continued to justify that contract, reaching the conference title game for the first time in his career in 2023-24.
