Chiefs discussing Thuney trade [confirmed]

[Hoover]

Veach is just damn good at his job. It's easy to get blinded by emotion. Thuney has been a rock and was a stud this season. And while he has plenty of gas left in the tank, Veach is looking at his entire roster, not just the player. Locking up Creed and Trey long terms should provide the Chiefs a lot of stability. Clearly Kingsley is moving to guard, and the thought of having a huge LG next to Creed is appealing to me, and he looked good there vs Denver. That mean you have the interior three o-line spots locked down for a minimum of 3 years.

Taylor is gone next offseason and you are going to take that money and give it to Karloftis or McDuffie. As for the upcoming draft, prepare thyself for a LT in the first.Veach is going to want a cheap rookie for the next five years, and they contract would slot in perfectly with Creed, Smith, and Kingsley.

I don't think Kingsley at LG is clear at all.

Yup. Love Thuney but he has played 13 more games than the average G in the NFL with the Chiefs and 10 more with the Patriots due to playoff success, so while he’s going to be 33 next season, his body in NFL years is actually closer to 35 due to 23 more games. Add in a serious injury in 2023 and that wear and tear is gonna get worse.

The Chiefs have to get draft capital. You can’t expect Veach to be perfect bc nobody is. They need flexibility which is why they traded Dee Ford, LJ Sneed, Tyreek Hill and Joe Thuney.

Do not be surprised if Chris Jones is traded in 2 years when he is in Thuney’s position at the same age. That’s why they need to capitalize on this incredible DT class.

Prepare for your future. This is what NE did
