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.
Thuney with a MAN sized performance at LT so far. Haven’t even missed Brown.
Would be huge if we could move him to LT next year with his contract and just find a LG and a reliable RT in the off season. Would save a shit ton of money on the salary cap in terms of the contract they would need to give Brown to keep him.
Surprising and interesting development today.
We’ll see how the second half looks . . . . . . [Reply]

He's been great. I'm glad he didn't go the route of most New England FAs and blow dicks.
Also helps to have him next to our most inconsistent lineman in Brown Jr. If it were Trey Smith at LG and Thuney at RG, I think we'd be a hell of a lot worse for it. [Reply]
