The Chicago Bears upgraded their offensive line earlier this offseason when the team acquired two-time All-Pro offensive guard Joe Thuney in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, Thuney is tied to Chicago for the foreseeable future.
According to Thuney’s agent Mike McCartney, Thuney agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Bears. Per CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones, Thuney now makes $51 million over the next three seasons with $33.5 million worth of guaranteed money as part of this new deal.
Thuney was already among the highest paid guards in the NFL and is set to make $16 million in the final year of his previous contract. With this new deal in place, Thuney is the fourth highest paid left guard and 10th highest paid guard overall.
In March, the Bears acquired Thuney from the Chiefs in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick after the Chiefs couldn’t afford to pay Thuney his upcoming raise following the 2025 season.
Thuney proved to be a very versatile offensive lineman during his time with the Chiefs and the New England Patriots. He was originally selected by the Patriots in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Thuney slid over to left tackle at times during his Chiefs tenure and helped protect star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Now, new Bears coach Ben Johnson has a veteran presence for the interior of his offensive line, and Thuney will be tasked with providing protection for second-year signal caller Caleb Williams. The Bears will be looking to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2020 this season.

At the 2023 trade deadline, Phoenix had acquired Kevin Durant for a package that included Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and four unprotected future first-round picks. While the Suns didn’t come close to matching what they gave up to acquire Durant, this might have been the best they could do under the circumstances.Jalen Green is a high-scoring guard who has improved over his four NBA years. He’s explosive, athletic and dependable. He’s played all 82 games the past two seasons, and this season averaged a team-best 21 points while shooting a career-best 35.4 percent on 8.1 attempts per game. Last October, Green signed a three-year rookie extension worth $106 million.The obvious issue: The trade gives Phoenix an […]

Kevin Durant trade shows just how far Rockets have risen, Suns have fallen
In the spirit of Sam Presti turning the Rashard Lewis trade exception into Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, let's zoom out. This past Thursday was the four-year anniversary of Kevin Durant's toe-on-the-line 2 at Barclays Center. That shot, in Game 7 of the Brooklyn Nets' second-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks, is the best -- or at least most literal -- example of the razor-thin margin between winning and losing in recent NBA history.Durant, then 32 years old, was widely considered the best player on the planet. He scored 48 points in 53 minutes in that game, four days after a 49-point, 17-rebound, 10-assist masterpiece.At the time, the Phoenix Suns were in the middle of an NBA Finals run, led by Chris Paul and Devin Booker and a strong, young supporting cast. The Houston Rockets, having traded James Harden to the […]
