Chiefs Agree With Joe Thuney On Five-Year Deal
4 years agoThe 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.
