Andy Reid‘s Chiefs might be cooking up a wild move, and honestly, no one saw this coming. Word on the street is they’re open to trading Joe Thuney, their absolute unit of a left guard, and the Bears are lowkey interested. We’re talking about a four-time Super Bowl champ, a two-time All-Pro, and basically Mahomes’ personal bodyguard. But with KC trying to finesse their salary cap and lock in some younger talent, they might be ready to let him go. Meanwhile, Chicago—aka the team that forgets O-lines exist—could finally be making a W move by snagging Thuney to give Justin Fields (or whoever they throw under center) some actual protection.
When Thuney missed the AFC Championship Game, Mahomes was running for his life, and his insane home playoff streak got cooked. The Chiefs’ whole offense thrives on keeping him comfy in the pocket, so losing Thuney could be a major L. But for the Bears? This could be a game-changer, giving them the firepower to actually compete instead of just vibing at the bottom of the NFC North. Now it’s just a matter of whether KC pulls the trigger or keeps their trenches locked down.
