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.
Joe was great for my Chiefs, but like Tyreek before him, I’m pretty sure that Veach made the best decision for the franchise.
I hope the Bears take good care of him.
