Joe Thuney Fantasy

The Kansas City Chiefs and free-agent offensive lineman Joe Thuney agreed to a five-year, $80 million deal on Monday, according to a source. A previous standout for the New England Patriots, Thuney's addition will be an immediate boost for a Chiefs offensive line that was obliterated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense in the Super Bowl without Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz, who were both recently released. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was pressured on 51.8 percent of his dropbacks in the Super Bowl, the third-highest mark in a start in his career. KC was 0-2 when he was pressured on over half of his dropbacks and 16-0 when he wasn't. The 28-year-old Thuney never missed a game or a start in his five seasons with the Patriots, and he became the first player in NFL history to start his career by playing in three straight Super Bowls.

A source reported that everything is "all quiet" on the front for New England Patriots offensive guard Joe Thuney on Wednesday, the deadline for the two sides to work out a long-term contract extension. He is likely to play under the franchise tag this season, which will pay him $14.78 million. Thuney has been one of the best interior offensive lineman since he entered the league as the No. 78 overall pick in 2016. He's also been able to stay healthy and start every game for the Patriots. His presence on the offensive line will help New England as they transition to life after Tom Brady.

New England Patriots left guard Joe Thuney, who signed his franchise tender for $14.78 million, is a candidate to be traded during next week's draft with the team tight against the salary cap. Head coach Bill Belichick would seriously consider dealing Thuney if the team is offered a second- or high third-rounder in exchange for Thuney. The two sides haven't been close on a contract extension, and the Patriots have a big gap between their first pick (No. 23) and their second pick (No. 87), a gap that Belichick would surely like to close. The Patriots have made 42 draft-day trades since 2010, which leads the NFL over that span.
