The Tennessee Titans on Wednesday signed quarterback Cam Ward, the top overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The fully guaranteed contract is for four years and $48.7 million, per reporting from ESPN.
“It’s a blessing,” Ward said. “I’m ready to get to work.”
Ward, 22, passed for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns, both single-season school records for the University of Miami, en route to being selected the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year last fall.
The consensus All-American finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting.
In becoming the Division I record-holder for career touchdown passes with 158, Ward played two seasons at FCS Incarnate Word before transferring to Washington State, where he played two more seasons ahead of his final season at Miami.
The Titans, 3-14 a year ago, revealed earlier this week that they would be splitting reps evenly between Ward and incumbent Will Levis, with head coach Brian Callahan noting that Ward had a lot of ground to cover this offseason.
“There’s so much work to be done between now and (the start of the season), particularly for him,” Callahan said. “I feel good about where he’s at and the work we’ve put in.”
Seven of the team’s nine draft picks have been inked to deals, with linebacker Oluwafemi Oladejo and wide receiver Chimere Dike yet to sign.
