Bears fans celebrate, rip Chiefs, over Joe Thuney trade: 'it's Mahover'

We’re still days away from the opening of the NFL’s free agency period, and weeks away from the NFL Draft, and the Chicago Bears are already doing stuff.

And the majority of that stuff involves the offensive line.

Sources: The #Bears are expected to trade for #Chiefs All-Pro G Joe Thuney, as the Chicago continues to load up on the offensive line.

Joe Thuney hasn't yet gotten measured for his navy-and-orange uni, but that hasn’t stopped Bears Twitter from taking a victory lap.

Some fans are imagining what the team’s revamped O-line might look like come training camp.:

Going after the line with an offseason like this could be exciting.

• LT: Braxton Jones
• LG: Joe Thuney
• C: Drew Dalman
• RG: Jonah Jackson
• RT: Darnell Wright

And borrowing @jacobinfante24 Tate Ratledge Day 2 selection would go a long way to addressing the line. https://t.co/2UOA72IGFk

Others are extolling Thuney's undeniably impressive numbers:

New #Bears OL Joe Thuney in 2024:

• First-team All-Pro, Pro Bowler
• 79.9 PFF grade (12th of 135 guards)
• 82.0 pass-blocking grade (5th in NFL)
• One penalty on 1115 snaps
• ZERO sacks allowed

And others are just happy to be here:

The Bears got Joe Thuney for a 4th round pick, per @DMRussini
Absolute steal for Chicago. They got a former Pro Bowl G Jonah Jackson and an All Pro Guard Joe Thuney for a 4th and 6th round pick. Insane.

Meanwhile in Kansas City, a large contingent of Chiefs fans are straight-up pissed:

Why tf are the chiefs trading Joe Thuney? Did they not watch the same Super Bowl we did? 🤦‍♂️

Joe Thuney was arguably the most valuable player on the 2024 Chiefs. And a beloved teammate and leader. If this is it, quite a run for an all-time KC player. pic.twitter.com/hb744nj0IM

The trade is reported to be for the Bears' fourth-round pick in 2026, meaning, Chicago doesn't have to pay in draft currency until next year, and even then, it isn't all that steep of a price. Thuney is scheduled to make $15.5 million in 2025, according to Over the Cap.
