Looks like the guy he got his hands on ultimately made the tackle from behind.

Might not of been his assignment though.

EDIT: just saw your edit

Yeah, I really like Thuney. Playing through this injury shows grit. He just got paid; he could easily take a month off and collect checks.

Guy's a technician too. He's got no business being just as good with a club as he is with fully functional hands.

Thuney is to the Chiefs what Simply Red is to ChiefsPlanet

Outstanding....

Thuney is our new first one in, last one out hero. Goodbye Anthony Sherman.

Smith was wishing he'd have just blown up the DE.

The fact that every one of these guys is a beast makes them all better. Trey sees Thuney smoking fools and thinks he has to up his game. Brown sees Trey bitch slapping guys into next week and knows he has to execute even better. I love it.

You shut your whore mouth. Sherman isn't in the same universe as Thuney. Sherman was good for basically nothing outside of special teams. Thuney is an all pro.

He’s an All-Pro getting guaranteed All-Pro money. Glad to see someone earning that FA money on every play. Great addition to the team. :clap:

Steep price tag at 80 million, but the dude is making an 80 million dollar impression by suiting up and continuing to play so excellently right now. He's been fun to watch.

Absolute baller. Hasn’t missed a start in his career either despite his ****ed up hand. Worth every penny we paid him thus far

Sorensen is to the Chiefs what Pete is to Chiefs Planet.

This was Veach’s Tyrann type of signing for the offense. Fantastic FA signing.

Just an incredible fit and worth every penny.

He good

With Trey Smith & Humphrey looking like future All-Pros IMO from now on Veach will invest in the OL nomatter the position BECAUSE MAHOMES

I’m glad this tweet clarifies that 0 QB Hits and Sacks are tied for the lowest in the NFL.

From back in March. The guy is a very good technician. I think he can be a very reliable LT.

Would save us a lot of money if we went that way. I think it should be considered

What happened to brown?

Pre-game calf.

I hope they at least seriously consider switching him, he looks ROCK solid over there

Thuney at LT, Brown at RT?? HMMM

JTLT LETS GO

Thuney with a MAN sized performance at LT so far. Haven’t even missed Brown.

Would be huge if we could move him to LT next year with his contract and just find a LG and a reliable RT in the off season. Would save a shit ton of money on the salary cap in terms of the contract they would need to give Brown to keep him.

Surprising and interesting development today.

We’ll see how the second half looks . . . . . .

I could dig it, makes plenty of sense IMO

Thuney at LT let Brown walk sign another legit WR

Brown would not sign a new contract as a RT.

Brown won’t move to RT. That’s why he forced the trade out of Baltimore.

Won’t happen.

You mean, aside from getting Pat killed and almost throwing a pick? Aside from that?

LOL pocket damn good today. Let’s see how he ends up grading out

He's had a damn good day you sniveling ****ing bitch

Just stop

0 QB hits allowed
0 pressures allowed
0 sacks allowed
0 penalties

He was dominant in Tampa. Our best OL. Creed is right there with him but Thuney is still the best.

Great signing

What a great FA signing he was.

He's been great. I'm glad he didn't go the route of most New England FAs and blow dicks.

Also helps to have him next to our most inconsistent lineman in Brown Jr. If it were Trey Smith at LG and Thuney at RG, I think we'd be a hell of a lot worse for it.

Thank goodness.

Can you imagine how bad the left side of our O-Line would be if Thuney hadn't been a home run signing?

Yikes.

We signed a GUARD to an 80 million dollar contract after Patrick got smashed in the Super Bowl.

And it was worth every freaking penny. Take a bow, Joe. Thanks for obliterating the Eagles and bringing another title to Kansas City.

Still true!!

Eat shit New England.

Thanks for giving us one of the best guards in the league.

OBJ is a top 10 FA.

Belichick: "Mmmmm mutter something something the guys we have in the building something something mmmmm"

Seriously. Sometimes the guys you let walk could have been helpful for your organization. You'll never know that, though, because there ain't a single one of them other than Brady that you'll ever re-sign.

Thuney was an amazing signing. Our team outsmarted the cheating patriots to steal a great player who is now wearing a Super Bowl ring.

You are so correct! So glad he got a ring with the CHIEFS! :thumb:

Besides Thuney has more fun with the Chiefs because he gets to do a "Merry-go-round" play.:p

I've seen a couple of rumors (unsubstantiated) that Thuney is considering retirement. Anybody else heard this?

Havent' seen anything on it.

That would be walking away from a big chunk of change right?

No, where exactly did you see this?

Weird but Thuney kind of comes off as someone who would walk away early before his body starts to breakdown.

Didn't we all tell you to get off FB, bro?

Yep. You never hear his name either. One of the best signings.

He saw it during his Peyote trip right next to purple unicorn and hot mermaid.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Didn't see this one on FB though. Saw it on Twitter. :D

Can we at least get a link?

Let me see if I can find it again. I don't actually have a Twitter account...

That would help with cap space next year for sure.

Sign OBJ, re-sign Alegretti, and draft a replacement.

Thuney has earned every penny. Awesome signing!!

Unless the way retirement against the cap has changed it impacts the cap the same as a cut so there really is no savings by him retiring.

He needs to play through the next season and then retire to have a significant savings.

Looking at over the cap if he retired after June 1 this year it would be a whopping $500k savings.

If the way retirements hit the cap has changed recently then ignore the above and please link because I could not find it. :)

Assuming you can’t split the retirement cap hot over 2 years, only $2.3M saved per my math.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-c...-thuney-19028/

He’s not retiring. There hasn’t been one mention of it

I will say I hated the signing at the time. Because it was at the same time we were pursuing Trent Williams, and boy did I want that to happen. But this has been one of Veach’s best moves. He’s so ****ing reliable. Just plug him in and forget about it

Yeah, I went back and tried to find the comment but couldn't find it.

FWIW, I said "unsubstantiated" in the original post because that's exactly what it was. A couple of rando's in the comments saying they heard he might be retiring. I just wanted to mention it here in case anybody had heard something.

If Thuney stays and the Chiefs win it all again, he will be tied for third in most super bowl wins by a player. The list is long at 4 wins, but still pretty impressive. If he stays and wins 2 more, he will be one of the top 3 players in super bowl wins. Tom Brady has 7 and Charles Haley has 5.

Some of us (myself included) lost sight of the simple notion that just because LT is the most important position on the line, that doesn’t mean you let the rest of the line rot in pursuit of your top priority.

We had mostly adequate LG play (not counting the Bucs SB) but the point was that we don’t aim for adequate, we aim for stellar. A **** awesome G was available. So get a **** awesome G when you have the chance. Didn’t have to be any more complicated than that.

We went from having elite tackle play (which allowed Mahomes to drift back to make plays) to elite interior play (which allowed Mahomes to excel from the pocket and scramble up the middle).

Both styles have worked to a legendary degree.

Wrong, you don't even have to do math. Your link provides the info. If he retires after June 1 it is a 500k savings.

https://i.imgur.com/bBG7xC8.png

only way 2.3 is saved is via a trade.

The only way to beat Mahomes is to have both defensive ends win at the same time.

One guy by himself isn't enough.

So true. Thuney is so good you really don't even have to think about him.

About the only time he's even discussed is when people talk about moving him to LT.

Freaking love dudes like that.

Great job by both of them, - Joe Thuney and Brett Veach.

So why are we even talking about him retiring again?

We're not. I merely asked if anybody had heard anything. Everybody so far has said "no" so there's really not any discussion of it, as evidenced by the last dozen posts or so talking about his contributions to the team, not about retirement.

He was phenomenal in Super Bowl LIII and LVII. Impressive shit.

I was worried about this deal given the history of New England FAs, but he's earned his keep.

Ranked as the 2nd best IOL in football on ESPN's rankings from league personnel. The guy is Mitchell Schwartz, except he plays G. He's worth every penny. He's an iron man who is the same guy every game. An outstanding technical savant.

He probably makes the all time Chiefs roster.

I’d have the OL as:

Roaf Thuney Humphrey Shields Schwartz

That would be a badass OL. Probably recency bias, but these are the best years in Chiefs history so it’s not too ridiculous. Obviously you can’t argue Roaf and Shields either.

YEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!! LET'S GO!!!

I was just thinking that, nobody talks much about Thuney. We sure talked a lot about previous LG's that we had lol. You definitely notice a Cam Irving ****ing up more than you notice a Joe Thuney doing his damn job very well

Where does Thuney rank on the list of Chiefs free agent signings?

Brian Waters, bro

Yep, choosing between Waters and Thuney is tough.

My armchair read is that Waters was a mauler and superior run blocker, but that I'm taking Thuney in pass pro.

That was my thought too.

Since Mahomes is obviously the QB, I’m valuing pass pro over everything.

Not really a wrong answer between Waters and Thuney though.

I was wondering that too

Len Dawson
Priest Holmes
Mitchell Schwartz
Tyranny Matthieu

Who else is on the list? I'm bad at remembering how we got guys.
