Humphrey, 24, joins the likes of Darius Slay, Tre’Davious White, and Jalen Ramsey with his new contract. All three are cornerbacks who were signed to big contracts in recent months by their respective teams. Ramsey is still the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback in terms of average annual value at $20 million, but Humphrey, the Ravens’ 2017 first-round pick, now ranks second at $19.75M.
