So 10 million dead cap and 16 million freed up, right?

Edit: Almost 11 million dead cap. Who cares though, sunk cost and the 16 million freed up will be very useful.

I guarantee you weren't more active than me unless all your posts were in GDTs.

And what I'm talking about is that you've done nothing but bitch and moan for the last month.

Also, what a ****ing signing Thuney was.

Super reliable. Always played at a high level at LG. Did his best at LT to provide a bit of stability temporarily. Hard to fault him too much for the Super Bowl.

Then, you flip out of the deal for pick.

Great work here.

I’ve been saying for damn near 2 months that I was extremely impressed with Kingsley playing G. He was really good against an elite DT. This must have sold them on this move.

I wouldn't say that just yet. That's the only nitpick I have about this deal is that the comp is pushed back a year.

Chicago wasn't as bad as their record last year and just shored up their biggest weakness in the last 24 hours.

I'd expect this pick to be in the 15-20 range of R4.

Well that gets some money off the books so that is good I guess. If there is a guy I want on my team out of Humphrey, Smith and Thuney it is Thuney though.

Cant pay 3 interior olineman that kinda money so makes sense.

Honestly I’d rather keep and pay Thuney than keep and pay Smith. This is me 100% acknowledging I’m understating the age difference.

Anyway, thanks for the work, Joe. Nothing but love from this dude.

Bears don't have a 4th this year and they weren't giving up 72 I'd imagine. So the choice was probably a 2025 5th or 2026 4th.

Veach hates 33 year olds who need to get paid.

To get a future 4th for a G is a huge win.

Mods, if you are going to merge threads, at least change the title to "Thuney traded to Chicago" since they are no longer discussing the trade. it is done.

Love the player, but great timing. Sorry you have to move to Chicago Joe.

Oh, and Russini is a goofball.

I will now concede that it’s a possibility that they see Kingsley as a future left guard. I still expect him to get some tackle run. You’d have to feel really ****ing good about someone at LG and it’s not what we saw in the Super Bowl.

Great move.
Love Thuney and am appreciative of his contributions.

Bitch and moan about what exactly? Ive liked some of the things the chiefs have done or are rumored to do so far and I've disliked some things. Such is life. And when you're on a discussion forum, you discuss those things.

Business side of the game is soooo dirty

Chiefs: Hey Joe we made a bunch of dumb decisions and really ****ed us when it comes to LT do you think you could slide over and cover LT for us

Joe: Sure Chiefs, I'm a team player


Chiefs in the Offseason: Hey Joe, we are going to ship you over to Chicago where they have a QB who is still figuring out their pronouns and paints their nails, I know the Bears are extremely dysfunctional but we are going to save 14 million on our cap space by sending you to that disaster of a team.

Joe: Okay......
