He must have played amazingly in the playoffs, then. If you count his whole 2021 season including playoffs they have him at 71.2, good for 21st/116.

As for the regular season, PFR has him as allowing 51.3% completion, 6.7 yards per target, 79.4 QB Rating, and only show him missing 3 tackles. All of those are very good.

I'd take Ward for that amount. You have to remember you're not signing a #1 shutdown CB. Those cost #1 shutdown CB money which these days is $19-20m/yr and we're talking half that. I think Ward is pretty reasonable for $9.9m/yr, and that $ is completely covered by the Trae Waynes release savings ($10.858m). 

If you could trade Trae Waynes right now for Ward and nearly $1m, I would do it in a heartbeat.
