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

Willie Roaf and Joe Montana

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

Both of them were traded to KC. Not free agent signings.

Of course. But I've seen hypotheticals where Thuney is cut to keep guys like Gay and Smith. Just doesn't make sense to me.

James Hasty,Marcus Allen, Mike Pennel then

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.

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

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

Tough. Kind of amazing how Thuney and the Chiefs organization as a whole made up for OBJ's weaknesses.

Sandy Angeles
Pittsburgh
Cincy
Minnesota

All of these teams have needed an OL remodel for years. And all of them have yet to actually fix their shit.

KC did it in one offseason.

Praise Butt Vulture!!!

Important point that doesn’t get brought up near enough

Marcus Allen

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

Yeah, I'd let Smith go and keep Thuney with having the LG surrounded by Creed and now Taylor.
