The Tennessee Titans<\/a> have signed No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward<\/a> to his rookie contract, the team announced May 21.<\/p>\n

Ward signed a four-year contract that includes a fully guaranteed $48.75 million, FOX Sports reported, with a fifth-year team option.<\/p>\n

Ward has been on the practice field at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park the past couple of weeks during rookie minicamp, with OTAs to begin May 27.<\/p>\n
