In Cleveland, Denzel Ward is staying put and getting paid. The five-time Pro Bowl cornerback has agreed to a two-year extension worth sixty-two point two million dollars, with fifty-two point three million guaranteed. That makes Ward the highest-paid defensive back in the entire NFL, and the Browns get to keep their cornerstone on the back end locked down through the prime of his career.
Shifting to Green Bay, Micah Parsons is opening camp on the physically unable to perform list, which is not the news Packers fans were hoping for heading into the summer. Parsons was acquired to be a difference-maker off the edge, and any time spent away from the field early in camp raises real questions about his availability when the games start to count.
And on the sidelines in San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan is speaking out about the car accident that put him out of commission two weeks ago. The forty-niners head coach made a point of saying publicly that the crash was his fault and that an earlier report had gotten the details wrong. Shanahan is dealing with multiple serious injuries, and the timing could not be worse with training camp approaching fast.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
