Similar to his college career path, Ward had to fight his way to earn his spot in the NFL. He went undrafted and signed with the Dallas Cowboys. Prior to his rookie season in 2018, the Kansas City Chiefs traded offensive guard Parker Ehinger in exchange for him .

Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Ballard swung big in free agency and landed one of the top cornerbacks available in Charvarius Ward. Ward is one year removed from an All-Pro season in 2023, where he allowed a completion rate of only 54% and had a whopping five interceptions and 17 pass breakups, per PFF.

After the Colts added Camryn Bynum, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports they have a deal in place with Charvarius Ward. The former Chiefs and 49ers starter is heading to Indianapolis on a three-year deal worth up to $60MM. The seven-year vet will receive $35MM guaranteed, with $20MM of that including a $20MM signing bonus.
