Well, he's 33 and was on the last year of his contract anyway ($27 mil. cap hit).

If he was considering retirement after this next season or the Chiefs weren't wanting to do an extension (for age concerns, etc.), this makes some sense.

This also explains why they decided to work towards a long term deal w/ Trey.

So likely King or Morris to LG? I assume King?

I guess this frees up some money for FA (assuming Bears are taking on whole contract). Will we have any dead money for Thuney?

Sounds like we're not re-signing Reid either.

So getting the deal with Trey done, likely re-signing Bolton and then . . . . . . . . . . ?

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......

LMAO Wut? We're doing Thuney a huge solid here. Already been reported he's expected to sign a 20+ million AAV extension in Chicago. He wasn't getting that here.

Thanks for salvaging the season, and for everything else, Joe!

Smith gets Thuneys cap space. Good move.

And if Joe never wins another game, he’s already an all-time NFL winner.

I’m sure he wishes KC would have paid him, but since they won’t, this is a major bonus for Thuney coming off a great year.

Thuney probably gets an extra pay bump after the LT work. Good for him.

Gotta admit it is a little weird that the guy won team MVP like 2 weeks ago and now he’s shipped out LMAO

Is it $27 mil they shaved off, or $16 mil?

Exactly, and shipped to a disaster of a franchise like Chicago with their metrosexual painted nails QB. Regardless of the money, that's dirty

Called that one a week or so ago.....didn't know how it made sense financially but if you can get out from an older player to keep a younger important player..you do it

This is so dumb sorry. And you only get a 2026 4th rounder?
