It’s a business.. and if he wants to maximize his earnings than so be it.



But he’s one guy I want to do right by. Just a true warrior and you’ve probably never heard him speak

Chicago was all set to back up the Brinks truck to sign Trey Smith...Poles knows Thuney and has said that his number one priority is to strengthen their OL, so Caleb won't be running for his life...On our side, Thuney is expensive and is getting up there in age, so this makes sense. Id hate to see him go, but its a business.

Good. He’s at that age. He can still play but it could go at any moment. This makes the Smith tag make a little more sense.

Kingsley to LG..

But but Kingsley is a wasted draft pick and he's obviously not going to start next year too!

Surprised he wouldn't retire. Unless he wants to see how the other 90% live

Rapoport says done deal to da Bears.

Love the player but a trade would be good if the comp is adequate.

I don't like it but I understand it and it probably makes sense and I trust the front office but damn I'd hate to see him go. It seems like a good decision even if from a fan perspective it sucks

Thuney traded to Chicago

Unexpected but makes great sense. We don't need the highest paid iOL in the league and trading him would allow us to balance out the cap more and address the real premium positions better

Wonder what the return is.... going to be SURPRISINGLY low, methinks.

Only to those of you rushing to bitch about Trey Smith...

So regardless of compensation, it looks like that clears up $27M in cap space. I'll take it.
