Creed Humphrey became the highest-paid center in NFL history by agreeing to a four-year contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs worth $72 million, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

The contract includes $50 million in guarantees.

Humphrey, 25, joined the Chiefs in 2021 as a second-round draft pick from Oklahoma and immediately became a starter. He has been a solid pass protector. In 2023, he ranked second among the NFL's interior offensive linemen in pass block win rate at 98.8%. Ahead of him was his Chiefs teammate, guard Joe Thuney.
