Kansas city Chiefs center, Creed Humphrey and girlfriend Olivia welcome their first child.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs and Creed Humphrey have agreed to a four-year, $72 million extension that makes him the highest-paid center in NFL history, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday night.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract had yet to be signed, said Humphrey will be guaranteed $50 million.

Those numbers outpace both the total value of the five-year, $60 million deal the Saints signed with Erik McCoy and the $42 million in guarantees that Frank Ragnow got on his four-year, $54 million contract with the Lions.

“We’ve had a lot of good dialogue and I’m pretty sure we will put pen to paper soon,” Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said Thursday night during a preseason game against Chicago.

“Needless to say, we’re extremely excited to continue Creed’s career here. 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.”
