Grant Delpit

No. 9 · 7th season

Grant Delpit just made sure Cleveland knows exactly where he stands

Contract extensions don't always feel like a statement. This one does.

Delpit came into the league as a second-round pick out of LSU with real expectations around him, then lost his entire rookie season to an Achilles injury before he ever played a down. He spent the years after that quietly earning his way back — not a headliner, just a safety who kept showing up and kept getting better.

Now he has a three-year deal worth $48 million with $35 million guaranteed, tying him to the Cleveland Browns through the 2029 season. His agent, David Mulugheta, and the Browns finished the agreement today. Third NFL contract. Long-term commitment, both ways.

For a player who once had to fight back to the field before he could prove anything, locking in that kind of security — and that kind of vote of confidence from a franchise — means something real. The Browns didn't just re-sign a piece of their defense. They told Delpit he's part of what they're building.

Now he gets to go prove they were right.
