The Arizona Cardinals announced a three-year contract extension with starting left tackle D.J Humphries, which keeps him under contract and as quarterback Kyler Murray’s blindside protector through the 2025 season.
We now know some of the numbers of the contract.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, the extension is worth $66.8 million with $34 million in guaranteed money,
He will be paid $21 million in 2022.
In terms of contract value, because it is a three-year extension, technically the per-year average is a little less than $22.3 million, which would give him the third-highest per-year average among offensive linemen.
San Francisco’s Trent Williams is atop the list with an average of just more than $23 million, followed by Green Bay’s David Bakhtiari’s average of $23 million. Humphries is followed by Houston’s Laremy Tunsil, who has an average of $22 million.
He was due to make $14 million in salary in 2022. He will be paid $21 million between any signing bonus and salary this season now, and his cap hit will surely go down.
It was scheduled to be more than $19 million, the highest number on the team. That number will likely decrease, as much of the $21 million he will be paid will come in the way of a signing bonus, which prorates for cap purposes over the life of the contract.
