PALM BEACH, Fla. — Chiefs coach Andy Reid nearly ran out of superlatives when attempting to explain new Bears guard Joe Thuney.
“You getting an outstanding man, an important human being, an all-pro participant,” he mentioned Monday on the NFL’s annual meeting. “Doesn’t say a complete lot. He’s chief in that room. He’s skilled. He’s being doing it fairly some time. He will get it.”
A skeptic would level out that the Chiefs, in fact, determined to commerce Thuney to the Bears earlier this month. The was a product of his age (32) and the very fact he has one 12 months left on a contract with a $16 million wage cap hit.
Thuney has received 4 Tremendous Bowls, been to a few Professional Bowls and been a first-team all-pro twice. He was voted MVP of a Chiefs workforce that received the AFC final 12 months.
The Bears are betting that his abilities received’t dim with age, and that he may be of profit to quarterback Caleb Williams.
“He’ll assist him,” Reid mentioned. “He’s participant.”
