It could be as simple as we can not afford both Thuney and Smith. He decided Smith and a 4th is worth more long term than a year of Thuney. Kingsley was being moved to guard to replace one of them.

Definitely likely. He probably weighed the trade compensation for either and decided to keep youth and a round lower pick or so than the other way around.

Wanya could be the fix at right tackle after they let Jawaan go.

Sucks to lose a great guy and great player. You want this guy on your team. I get it. This is the business. He's old - Kingsly is young. I get it. It happens. He's that girl that you lie to yourself about though. You tell yourself it'll work out somehow. We'll make it work....

I think this is a big mistake for the Chiefs. We are already very weak on the offensive line, and the players who need to step up proved themselves incapable of doing so.
A 2026 4th round pick for Thuney?! Really? This move tells me that the Chiefs are writing off going to the playoffs and Super Bowl in the coming season. The line is a shambles, and Mahomes is going to be taking a beating physically every game. Gee, I wonder if the OC guy (Veach's friend) is still getting a pass?

Thuney was a Ginger Viking Jesus but c'mon guys, he's a guard.
I'm not saying it's the easiest position to replace outside of punter, but it is.

Having 3 expensive IOL isn’t a great option. 2 is even pushing it a bit. Smith is younger. He makes more sense to pay. We should all be a bit relieved. What would it say about Kingsley if Veach felt it was necessary to pay big money to all 3 IOL spots?

The NFL is about the salary cap and how well you manage it. It is even more important when you have the responsibility to pay the best QB is the league. Veach has decided to use cap space to secure 2/5s of the offensive line with keep two home grown players who are top players at their positions. It comes at the cost of a 34 year old iron man, but the key is the team actually got something for him in a 4th round pick next year. Yeah it sucks that we have to wait to cash in that chip, but just like the 3rd rounder for Sneed, it's nice when you get to collect. Veach and the Chiefs have also invested high picks in Morris and Suamataia. Keeping Thuney and paying Smith mean neither has a sure pathway to the playing field which is not ideal. Suamataia now gets the opportunity at LG. Keeping Smith AND Thuney meant your LG is probably Suamataia or DJ Humphries at best, maybe a 1st round draft pick. Trading him, means that they can now sign a FA LT like Stanley or Tyron Smith at LT, meaning that the biggest weakness on the team has vastly been improved. Suamataia can still develop into a LT while logging time at LG. He lacks confidence more than anything, and this is the best solution for that. While the subtraction of Thuney today makes things look worse, you have to wait and see what the entire picture looks like after free agency and the draft. Today's move shows that Veach is in the midst of a rebuild not a plug and play. |
