Jonathan Owens’ former teammate ditches Patrick Mahomes and finally gets what he wanted with the Bears

The Bears didn’t wait long to make good on their promise to protect Caleb Williams.

Just two months after acquiring All-Pro guard Joe Thuney in a trade with the Chiefs, Chicago has agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension that will keep the veteran in navy and orange through 2027. The deal is worth $17.5 million annually, bringing the total to $51 million over three years – with $33.5 million fully guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

It’s a big price tag, but one the Bears were happy to pay.

General manager Ryan Poles made no secret earlier this offseason that extending Thuney was near the top of his to-do list. “I love Joe; I love what he brings,” Poles said earlier this month. “We’ll see if we can work something out in the near future.” Turns out, both sides didn’t need long to get there.

A Foundation Up Front for the Caleb Williams Era

The Bears gave up a 2026 fourth-round pick to land Thuney from Kansas City – a small price for a five-time All-Pro with a reputation for elite pass protection, durability, and leadership. He’s missed just one game in his career, and brings a level of consistency Chicago has been desperate for.

Thuney will line up next to fellow guard Jonah Jackson and new center Drew Dalman, forming the core of what Poles hopes is a radically improved offensive line. Rookie second-rounder Ozzy Trapilo could round out the group, giving head coach Ben Johnson plenty to work with as he installs his new offense.

For a team that gave up a league-worst 68 sacks last season, this investment signals a new direction – one where Caleb Williams isn’t running for his life every Sunday.

Thuney, now 32, looks like he’ll finish his career in Chicago. And in the process, he just might help change the trajectory of a franchise that hasn’t had a winning season since 2018.

Craque Neto detona primeira atitude de Ancelotti na seleção: “Absurdo”

Ancelotti vai assumir o Brasil no dia 26 - Reprodução/Instagram Craque Neto já está na bronca com Carlo Ancelotti, que não teria incluído o nome de Alan Patrick, do Internacional, na pré-lista de convocados da seleção brasileira. A ausência do camisa 10 colorado gerou enorme revolta no ex-jogador. Em sua avaliação, Estêvão, do Palmeiras, é outro atleta que merecia estar nesta primeira ‘triagem’ do treinador italiano, e criticou a presença de Oscar, do São Paulo. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “É um absurdo colocar o Neymar e não o Estêvão, colocar o Oscar e não o Alan Patrick”, disparou Craque Neto, que cobrou a saída de dois dirigentes. “O Juan deveria ser mandado embora junto com o presidente. O Rodrigo Caetano tinha que ter caído assim como o Ednaldo. Os dois deveriam ser mandados embora. Não sei se esses caras ficam quando o […]

Craque Neto pede saída de jogador na seleção: “Não dá mais”

Craque Neto em registro no "Os Donos da Bola" (Reprodução - YouTube) O Craque Neto não poupou críticas ao saber que Alex Sandro, lateral do Flamengo, foi acionado na pré-lista de Carlo Ancelotti para os jogos da seleção brasileira na Data Fifa de junho. No programa “Os Donos da Bola” desta terça (20), ele classificou que o tempo do atleta já passou no escrete canarinho. No entendimento do ex-jogador, a posição precisa de novas peças, e Juninho Capixaba, do Red Bull Bragantino, seria uma excelente opção para ao menos receber uma chance com o treinador italiano, pela regularidade ostentada. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Alex Sandro não tem que ser convocado. Tem que ser o Juninho Capixaba, pelo que ele vem jogando no Bragantino. Isso é uma sacanagem. Deu. Não dá mais”, detonou o Craque Neto. Questionado pelo apresentador da Band, Alex […]

Lions Kelvin Sheppard’s ascent into coaching was one many saw coming: ‘He’s really sharp, man’

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Dan Campbell saw the vision long before Kelvin Sheppard did.It was 2015. Campbell, then the interim head coach of the Miami Dolphins, would often sit in his office talking ball and life with any player who’d walk in that day. It was an open-door policy that broke down barriers between player and head coach and endeared Campbell to many in Miami. Sheppard was one of his most frequent visitors back then. A cerebral linebacker who had to rely on his mind over his eight-year NFL career, those visits helped confirm what Campbell already suspected: Sheppard was destined to coach one day.AdvertisementCampbell gave Sheppard his first on-field coaching opportunity in 2021. Over the years, he put more and more on Sheppard’s plate — quietly preparing him for where he is now. A decade after those open-door conversations, […]
