BREAKING NEWS: Andy Reid GIVES green light to Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce to leave Kansas Chiefs after their loss to Buffalo Bills amid these slight mistakes…that Almost breaks the team…see more

The Kansas City Chiefs are beefing up their offensive line as they continue their pursuit of another Super Bowl appearance, a feat they’ve achieved in four of the last six seasons. Reports reveal that the team has reached an agreement with seasoned left tackle D.J. Humphries on a one-year contract.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the deal, facilitated by his representation at AMDG Sports, includes a $2 million base salary and performance-based bonuses that could elevate its value to $4.5 million.

The 30-year-old veteran, entered the NFL in 2015 as a first-round draft pick for the Arizona Cardinals. Over nine seasons, he solidified his reputation as a reliable offensive lineman, earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2021.

However, after an ACL injury in Week 17 of last season, the Cardinals released him in March. Having fully recovered, Humphries now brings a wealth of experience to a Chiefs squad in need of reinforcement at left tackle.

The Chiefs have experimented with rookie Kingsley Suamataia and second-year player Wanya Morris at the position this season, but Humphries’ arrival offers a steadying presence as the team looks to refine its protection schemes.

Following a rare setback-a 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Chiefs currently sit at 9-1 and remain one of the league’s top contenders. They’re set to take on the 3-7 Carolina Panthers this Sunday, though Humphries isn’t expected to suit up just yet.

If all goes well, his debut could come during the team’s high-stakes Black Friday clash against the Las Vegas Raiders.
