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.
So when does the conversation shift from cutting him in 2025 to extending him until retirement? Because he's a top 5 player on the roster currently and has shown absolutely no sign of slowing down any time soon [Reply]

Creed is the priority OL extension in my opinion. If we can get Thuney as well, so much the better. [Reply]

Does Cincy have a Thuney equivalent? Cause if not, I feel like Brown is about to be exposed without someone chipping for him all game long. [Reply]

He's going to be exposed no matter what. He's got to see Myles Garret and T.J. Watt twice each. [Reply]

No. Their LG situation is actually quite dire. Vollson or Carman [Reply]

Important point that doesn’t get brought up near enough [Reply]
The Thuney signing helps reinforce anytime there is doubt in my mind about Jawaan Taylor making 20m. He was seen as a very good player, not quite an elite one iirc. I remember refreshing twitter hoping we land Trent Williams and seeing we got Thuney for the price we did. Immediate pit in my stomach, and I could not have been more wrong [Reply]
