Cleveland Browns first-round draft pick Mason Graham signed his four-year rookie contract.

Graham’s representation told multiple outlets on Tuesday that the deal was fully guaranteed and is worth $40,874,191, which is slightly more of the rookie scale ($40,806,872), per Spotrac.

The contract includes a $26.4 million signing bonus, per Spotrac, and the standard fifth-year option.

The Michigan defensive tackle was selected by the Browns with the fifth overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. Cleveland entered the draft with the No. 2 pick and moved back in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, acquiring a first-rounder in 2026 as part of the package.

Graham, who was the Rose Bowl MVP in Michigan’s win over Alabama, totaled 45 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 2024.

In 37 games at Michigan, Graham had 107 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 9.0 sacks, three passes defended and one forced fumble.
