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.
After cutting two tackles and having nobody else at tackle but an unproven "rookie" who opted out I have to imagine they're still looking at a tackle, just not positive if that is Williams or not. Even if they just get Reiff that would seem to be a significantly upgraded left side of the line with LT Reiff and LG Thuney. [Reply]

Veach plays with Monopoly money, babe. We good! [Reply]
Here is the summary I wrote on Thuney based on film from 2018. So keep in mind he is probably even better now.
