The top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is signed, sealed and delivered. Quarterback Cam Ward signed his initial contract with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday.
Ward agreed to a four-year, $48.7 million contract that is fully guaranteed, as are all first-round contracts. It comes with the obligatory fifth-year team option as well.
The top pick is the seventh of Tennessee's nine draft picks to sign. He's the first of the top five overall picks from the draft to sign. Ward, from Miami, is expected to be Tennessee's immediate starter in 2025, though he will split reps with holdover Will Levis, at least to begin the offseason workouts.
