Kansas City Chiefs reward Creed Humphrey with record-breaking deal

The Kansas City Chiefs have made Creed Humphrey the highest-paid center in NFL history, according to a report from ESPN.

The 25-year-old has agreed terms on a new four-year deal at Arrowhead worth $72million with $50million guaranteed.

Humphrey joined the Chiefs in 2021 as a second-round draft pick from Oklahoma and quickly became a key part of their offensive line.

“He’s a heck of a football player, a real good football player,” said Chiefs coach Andy Reid following Thursday night’s 34-21 pre-season defeat to the Chicago Bears.

“He started off that way and he kept it going that way. So we appreciate all he does and we appreciate having him here.”

Humphrey will be a key part of the organization as Reid’s side look to win their third successive Super Bowl this coming season.

“Needless to say, we’re extremely excited to continue Creed’s career here,” Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said. 

“He’s been great for our organization, and look, we have been very fortunate to have a really a good group of young guys and hopefully, we are able to get a little bit more work done with some of these other young guys as well.”

The Chiefs open their campaign at home to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, September 5.
