Patrick Mahomes has his protection secured: Chiefs center Creed Humphrey becomes highest paid in the NFL

he Kansas City Chiefs have made a significant commitment to their offensive line by extending the contract of center Creed Humphrey, making him the highest-paid center in NFL history. The four-year extension is valued at an impressive $75 million, with $50 million guaranteed.

Head coach Andy Reid expressed his admiration for Humphrey, stating: “He’s a heck of a football player, a real good football player.” Reid’s comments came after the Chiefs’ recent preseason loss to the Chicago Bears, where he reflected on Humphrey’s consistent performance. “He started off that way and he kept it going that way. So we appreciate all he does and we appreciate having him here,” Reid added, emphasizing the importance of Humphrey to the team’s overall success and for Patrick Mahomes’ protection.
