Cleveland Browns safety Grant Delpit is signing a three-year, $48 million extension that includes $35 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The extension was negotiated by David Mulugheta of Athletes First.

This is the second major extension for the Browns' secondary in as many days. On Tuesday, cornerback Denzel Ward agreed to a two-year, $62.2 million extension with $52.3 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history for the second time.

Following the trade of Myles Garrett, the Browns have now secured extensions with Ward and Delpit, their two longest-tenured players. Delpit, who will be 28 in September, was entering the final year of his previous deal. Last season, he recorded 89 tackles, 3 sacks, and an interception. In his five NFL seasons, Delpit has accumulated seven interceptions, 21 passes defended, 6.5 sacks, and 451 tackles.
