In a monumental move that reinforces the strength of their offensive line, the Kansas City Chiefs have inked a four-year, $72 million extension with their sensational center, Creed Humphrey. The deal, which guarantees an astounding $50 million, propels Humphrey to the pinnacle of paychecks for his position in the NFL, as confirmed by multiple sources on Thursday.
Since being nabbed in the second round (63rd overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft, Humphrey has been nothing short of a revelation for the Chiefs. Starting every single game since joining the league, he’s been the robust anchor of Kansas City’s offensive line. His presence has been pivotal in the Chiefs’ back-to-back Super Bowl victories, serving as the bedrock upon which their success has been built.
This 25-year-old phenom’s ironman streak is simply remarkable. Humphrey hasn’t missed a beat, starting an impeccable 51 regular-season games and adding 10 more in high-stakes playoff clashes. His excellence hasn’t gone unnoticed, earning him Pro Bowl honors in the last two seasons, thanks to his sterling efforts in protecting one of the league’s brightest stars, quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Since Humphrey’s addition, the Chiefs boast an impressive 37-14 record. As Kansas City sets its sights on an unprecedented feat—becoming the first team in NFL history to capture three consecutive Super Bowl titles—Humphrey remains a vital cog in their championship quest. With his formidable skillset and unwavering reliability, the future looks incredibly bright for both Humphrey and the Chiefs.
