According to the information from the team that the team is expected to sign Hudson to a five-year deal worth $44.5 million, per a source informed of the situation. No doubt that the deal reportedly makes Hudson the highest-paid center in the league.
In the NFL season, Hudson came back to start the past two seasons, playing more than 1,000 snaps in each, and was considered the best free agent at his position this offseason. Pro Football Focus graded Hudson as the third-best center in the NFL during the 2014 season.
In a statement the 25-year-old Hudson was a second-round pick of the Chiefs out of Florida State in the 2011 draft. After dealing with injuries early in his career, Hudson started 31 of Kansas City’s 32 games over the past two seasons, developing into one of the league’s steadiest presences at center.
Hudson played well in both of those seasons and also the 25-year-old Hudson is PFT’s 23rd-ranked free agent. In the recent time Hudson was widely considered the best at his position on the market. He finished 2014 as the 3rd highest rated center in the league, posting a +13.0 Pro Football Focus rating.
For the new contract which will pay the former Kansas City Chiefs pivot more on average per season than Pro Bowl centers Alex Mack and Maurkice Pouncey. It’s a lot of cash, but Hudson looms as a better solution than Stefen Wisniewski the offensive lineman for the Oakland Raiders.
