Reported by his agent Mike McCartney, Joe Thuney will leave the Patriots and sign a mega contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Thuney signs a five-year $80M deal with the Chiefs, which he more than earned during his time in New England. He gets a life-changing payday and will go to a juggernaut team, protecting the NFL’s top QB.
I’ll remember Thuney fondly for his durability, having started all 80 games he suited up for, and someone who the team could rely on. Not forgetting his role in helping the franchise win two Super Bowls (LI & LIII).
The focus will now shift to David Andrews and whether the team can work out a deal to keep him around, this would be a huge victory for the team if they can tie him down to a new deal, especially given all of the other signings today! (Look out for my FA round-up post later on today)
