The Kansas City Chiefs have secured their All-Pro center, Creed Humphrey, with a four-year, $72 million contract extension that includes $50 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid center in the NFL. Humphrey, drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of the University of Oklahoma, has been instrumental in the Chiefs' offensive line, starting all 51 regular season games since his arrival and contributing to two Super Bowl championships. The extension is seen as a strategic move to retain top talent while managing salary-cap space, as highlighted by Patrick Mahomes' previous contract structuring. The Chiefs aim for a third consecutive Super Bowl, emphasizing the importance of stability and excellence in their roster. Humphrey's leadership and experience are highly valued assets for the team moving forward.
