Chicago seems determined to offer the best protection to Caleb Williams. According to ESPN, the Bears agreed with the chiefs for the exchange of the Guard All Pro Joe Thuney. In return, Kansas City will receive a 4th round of Draft 2025.
Worse offensive line of the League, Chicago needed reinforcement. Already active yesterday with the exchange of Jonah Jackson from the Rams, the Bears are riding a (large) notch by going to look for a quadruple all pro.
Arrived at the Chiefs in 2021 from New England, Joe Thuney is the best at Guard. He even knows how to play Tackle, where he has evolved a large part of the season in Kansas City and in particular at Super Bowl. At 32, the player will have to raise a new challenge in a team under construction. He who has been used to playing the leading roles since his draft since his draft in 2016, with 4 champions titles, and 6 Super Bowl played, will have to leave at the bottom of the ladder, in a team that has not played the playoffs since 2020.
New line for Mahomes
For Kansas City, the situation is quite different. Defeated for the hat -trick against the Eagles, and in particular taken in the trenches, the team of Patrick Mahomes seems to want to turn a page. He opts to rebuild a new line by separating himself from his best element. The chiefs retained Trey Smith thanks to the Tag franchise and perhaps wished to save a veteran salary to offer a good contract to the 25 -year -old Guard. The site seems in any case definitively open.
