Another stunning deal as Kansas City Chiefs set to sign two of their best players to contract extensions, with one of them becoming the highest-paid centre in football…

The Chiefs may be planning to sign two of its finest players to contract extensions in the near future, but fans should be cautious about believing the source of the information.

According to X (previously known as Twitter) user PrettyRickey213, who has acquired an underground following this summer by breaking big scoops ahead of major reporters, Kansas City will soon make Creed Humphrey the highest-paid centre in football while also renewing Harrison Butker’s deal.

These probable movements are consistent with what most fans expected, however the timetable is somewhat surprising. Perhaps there isn’t a fire, but there is smoke.

Chiefs are rumoured to extend Creed Humphrey and Harrison Butker soon.

Take all of this with the appropriate grain of salt. Reporters such as Adam Schefter, Ian Rapoport, and Tom Pelissero, who have all broken news about the Chiefs, have been silent on the subject.

Perhaps they are protecting their sources and have a duty that PrettyRickey213 does not, or perhaps the random social media user with no real photo is simply making stuff up. It’s tough to say for certain right now, but the Chiefs would benefit greatly from completing these two extensions as soon as possible.

Humphrey is an All-Pro and a key member of the offensive line, despite playing a position that generally pays less than guard or tackle. The highest-paid centre (Frank Ragnow) makes $13.5 million per year, while the highest-paid tackles and guards earn more than $20 million. Given Humphrey’s influence, signing him for around $13.5 million per year is simply good business.

Butker is having one of the best careers of any kicker in NFL history, and that is not an exaggeration. He has the biggest field goal in Super Bowl history (57 yards) as well as the most made field goals (nine), consistently nailing key kicks to keep Kansas City’s chances alive.

Both players should be Brett Veach’s primary priorities. Reading the tea leaves, I believe the extensions are imminent, regardless of PrettyRickey213’s post, albeit it appears that contracts may arrive sooner than planned.
