In exchange, Kansas City will reportedly get a fourth round draft pick in 2026. Rapoport said the Chiefs love Thuney, but they just can’t afford to pay everyone on their star-studded roster. This will free up money and move the team in a younger direction, as Thuney would be turning 33 and gearing up for a third contract. Thuney is one of the best guards in the league and showed versatility this year in Kansas City, playing left tackle in the back half of the season.
