Kansas City, MO – On March 10, 2025, the Kansas City Chiefs announced the re-signing of star center Creed Humphrey to a new 3-year contract, securing his future with the team through the 2027 season. The move solidifies Humphrey as a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ offensive line and comes with a call for fans to continue their unwavering support as he remains a key piece of the Chiefs Kingdom.
Humphrey’s Stellar Journey
Drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma, Creed Humphrey has quickly risen to become one of the league’s top centers. Starting all 51 games of his career so far, he’s played a vital role in the Chiefs’ back-to-back Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. A two-time Pro Bowler and a 2022 Second-Team All-Pro, Humphrey’s consistency and leadership have made him indispensable. Protecting quarterback Patrick Mahomes and paving the way for the run game, he’s earned the trust of coaches and teammates alike.
The 3-Year Deal
While exact financial details remain undisclosed, reports suggest the 3-year contract could be worth around $45 million, with a significant portion guaranteed. Humphrey had previously completed his rookie deal (4 years, $5.24 million) and signed a record-breaking 4-year, $72 million extension in August 2024, making him the NFL’s highest-paid center at the time. This new 3-year adjustment reflects a strategic shift, aligning with the team’s long-term salary cap plans. Head coach Andy Reid praised the move, saying, “Creed’s a special player and leader. We’re thrilled to have him for three more years and hope Chiefs Kingdom keeps cheering him on.”
A Call for Fan Support
Both the Chiefs and Humphrey are counting on the passionate Chiefs Kingdom to rally behind him. “The fans here are incredible,” Humphrey said in a recent interview. “Win or lose, they’ve got our backs. I hope they’ll stick with me for these next three years as we chase more victories.” Known for their electric energy at Arrowhead Stadium, Chiefs fans have long been the heartbeat of the team. Humphrey, a proud Oklahoma native and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, embodies the Midwest spirit, making his bond with the fanbase even stronger.
Looking Ahead
After falling short of a historic three-peat with a Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year, the Chiefs are regrouping for 2025. With Humphrey locked in, alongside stars like Mahomes and Kelce, the team is poised for another run. Chiefs Kingdom, it’s time to show Creed the love—he’s here to stay, and he’s counting on you.
