The Kansas City Chiefs have signed center Creed Humphrey to a four-year, $72 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid center in NFL history with $50 million guaranteed. This deal surpasses the previous record held by Frank Ragnow and reflects Humphrey's significant contributions as a two-time Pro Bowler who has started every game since being drafted in 2021. His exceptional performance includes ranking second among NFL interior linemen in pass block win rate in 2023. The Chiefs are also focused on negotiating contracts for other key players from the 2021 draft class, including linebacker Nick Bolton. With this extension, the Chiefs are solidifying their offensive line as they prepare for the upcoming season, opening against the Ravens on September 5. This contract not only underscores Humphrey's value but also sets a precedent for future player negotiations within the league.
