Humphrey signed a four-year, $72 million extension -- including $50 million guaranteed -- with the Chiefs on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The extension makes Humphrey the highest-paid center in NFL history. Since being drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Humphrey has started at center in every single game for the Chiefs over the past three seasons. The four-year extension ensures that Humphrey will continue to serve as Kansas City's anchor on the offensive line.

The Chiefs selected Humphrey in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 63rd overall.
EDGE Analysis
The reigning AFC champions addressed some of their line issues in free agency but still needed to add through the draft, and Humphrey helps check that box. The former Oklahoma Sooner is considered one of the top center prospects in this class thanks to his impressive film and athletic testing. He ranked above the 90th percentile among centers in several drills, including his 10-yard split in the 40-yard dash and the broad jump, showing lower-body explosiveness and anchor. Humphrey will challenge Austin Blythe for the starting center job right away.
