Joe Thuney’s new team is handing him a new deal.
Thuney and the Bears have agreed to a two-year extension, per the guard’s agent, Mike McCartney. The new two-year deal is worth $35 million, and Thuney will make $51 million over the next three years with $33.5 million guaranteed at signing, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Tuesday, per sources.
Set to make $16 million on the final year of his contract, Thuney was already making top-five money among left guards in the NFL (and 12th among all guards) prior to this extension, per Over The Cap. His new deal propels him to $17 million per year, ranking fourth among left guards and 10th among all guards.
