More details on Joe Thuney's 5-year, $80M deal with the Chiefs: Signing bonus: $17M Base salaries: $990K, $13.9M, $15M, $15.5M, $15.5M Workout bonuses totaling $2.11M
That structure keeps Thuney's 2021 cap number at just $4.5M.
Another reason this is a critical piece in the next phase of our offense is that it allows Mahomes to actually exist in the pocket for more than 1 second without having to sprint out, scramble, or drop 15-18 yards.
If we can actually develop a pocket, it will limit the effectiveness of the opposing edge-rushers because the angles will be more favorable to our Tackles. [Reply]

Reid might be stubborn but he's not stupid.
This might be an adaptation to build the OL to Mahomes.
if you have a once in a lifetime QB you protect his blindside.....the money should have went there and not for an interior lineman in my opinion [Reply]

I like Thuney a lot, but I am really mixed on the move because it is so much money.
You know Veach. First he signed Thuney. Now, he will restructure the Thuney contract to get back some more cap space. Genius. [Reply]
