Chicago Bears continue to strengthen their offensive line.
The Bears acquired the two-time Guard Joe Thuney of the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a fourth-round selection in the NFL 2026 draft, according to multiple reports.
For Chiefs, Thuney’s trade was a financial decision since the 32 -year -old guard has a limit charge of almost $ 27 million, something they could not pay. Chiefs released $ 16 million in a very necessary salary space to address other needs.

Thuney slid towards the left Tackle last season for the Chiefs, offering a very necessary stability for the field marshal Patrick Mahomes in the section after other players fought in the position.
He has been an invaluable member of two different dynasties, since he won two Super Bowls with the New England patriots and then two with the Kansas City bosses.
While losing Thuney, the Chiefs franchise labeled the right guard Trey Smith on Tuesday, ensuring that the star line did not reach free agency.

Mike Caling is a candidate for the Chiefs to replace Thuney in the left guard, since he dug playing left guard for the stretch after Thuney changed to the left Tackle.
Thuney is the second offensive liner that the Bears have acquired in so many days.
According to the reports, the Bears sent a selection of sixth round 2025 to acquire the Guard of Pro Bowl Jonah Jackson from Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday.
With the acquisitions of Thuney and Jackson, the Bears have fortified their interior offensive line for Caleb Williams Field Marshal.

The reinforcements are very necessary for Williams, since it was the most dismissed field marshal of the NFL last season, and was delayed behind the Scrimmage line 68 times.
Before playing last season with the Rams, Jackson spent four seasons with the Detroit Lions, where now the Bears chief coach, Ben Johnson, was his offensive coordinator in Detroit.
Johnson understands the importance of a strong offensive line, since his offense in Detroit was based on the force of his offensive line.
