After a stinging Super Bowl defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles last month, the Kansas City Chiefs are making moves ahead of what should be a busy free agency period.
Kansas City is moving All-Pro offensive lineman Joe Thuney to the Chicago Bears, according to multiple reports.
According to ESPN, the Chiefs will be getting a return of a fourth-round pick in 2026.
Reports indicate that Thuney could be in line for a contract extension with the Bears, but it’s unclear what the term or salary would be.
Currently, Thuney is in the final year of a five-year, $80million contract that he signed in Kansas City in 2021.
He is set to earn a base salary of $15.5million, which balloons up to a cap hit of $26.9million after bonuses and contract re-structuring.
Thuney is a four-time Super Bowl champion – having won two titles with the New England Patriots and two in Kansas City.
He’s been named to the All-Pro team four times (two-time First-team, two-time Second-team) and is a three-time Pro-Bowler.
Last season, Thuney ranked first in the league in pass block win-rate amongst guards.
