The 4 year rookie contracts of the NFL first-round draft picks include a team option for a fifth season. Humphrey was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens as the 16th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.
His rookie deal was worth about $11.8 million, according to Spotrac.com, and he has a base salary of $2.08 million for the 2020 season.
Humphrey finished his career at Alabama with 81 tackles, 13 deflected passes, 5 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles and 1 TD.
Last season for the Ravens, Humphrey became a huge defensive asset for the Ravens.
Week 5 last season, Humphrey had a huge defensive play that helped the Ravens go on to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. Humphrey punched out and recovered a fumble in overtime to set up the game-winning field goal by Justin Tucker.
But that’s not all. He also had a fumble recovery and touchdown that sealed the win against Seattle. Against the New England Patriots, he returned a fumble for a touchdown as well.
So far in his career in the NFL and for the Ravens, he has recorded 136 tackles, 41 deflected passes, 7 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries.
