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 spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract had yet to be signed. Humphrey will be guaranteed $50 million. The numbers of the contract outpace the total value of the five-year, $60 million deal the Saints signed with Erik McCoy and the $42 million that was guaranteed Frank Ragnow on his four-year, $54 million contract with the Lions.
