March 2025 – Trades and Signings


Bears acquire G Joe Thuney from Chiefs for 4th-round pick
The Bears entered the offseaon with a huge need at guard. In a span of just 24 hours, they’ve managed to find two upgrades at the position, trading a sixth-round pick for Jonah Jackson and then a fourth-round selection for Joe Thuney.

This is a perplexing trade, but not for Chicago. Jackson is an uncertain option because of his dubious injury history, but Thuney is as great as they come at guard. Not only is he an All-Pro guard; he can also play tackle well in a pinch. He’s 32, but interior linemen have been known to perform well into their mid-30s. Massively upgrading Caleb Williams’ protection for a fourth-round pick is a slam dunk.

Meanwhile, this deal makes no sense for the Chiefs. How did they watch Patrick Mahomes run for his life in the Super Bowl and think, “Let’s trade our best offensive lineman?” Sure, the Chiefs aren’t in the best cap situation, but they could have traded/cut someone else or restructured some deals to prevent Mahomes’ already-shoddy protection from getting much worse.

Grade for Bears – A+
Grade for Chiefs – F
