Shipped to Chicago
The Bears acquired Thuney from the Chiefs on Wednesday in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bears recently agreed to a deal to acquire Rams guard Jonah Jackson, who previously played for the Lions under new Bears head coach Ben Johnson. While Jackson is coming off a disappointing season with the Rams after signing a huge contract, Thuney remains universally regarded as one of the best and most consistent guards in the league. The 32-year-old even played left tackle when the need arose in Kansas City during the stretch run of this past season, although he struggled in the Super Bowl after mostly proving up to the task leading up to that game. Thuney likely will play left guard in Chicago, where returning starter Teven Jenkins (calf) is scheduled for free agency after completing his rookie contract. The trade won't be made official until after the start of the 2025 league year next Wednesday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Officially out of Super Bowl
Thuney, who missed the AFC Championship Game win over the Ravens with a pectoral injury, will remain sidelined for Sunday's Super Bowl LVIII matchup against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
The All-Pro guard was never able to get on the practice field during the two weeks of Super Bowl prep. Thuney was spelled effectively by Nick Allegretti versus a Ravens defense that had accrued a league-high 60 sacks in the regular season, but he'll have another tough assignment against the aggressive 49ers unit Sunday.
