Is that a legit thing?

WHOA

Wow there’s no way they sign Williams AND Thuney right?

Schefter just tweeted it.

Depends on the cap hits.

Pretty much locks up everything but the center position and makes the line a strength.

5 year deal per his agent

Nice. But I guess that ends the Williams speculation

Outstanding.

Yup it’s on ESPN now. Done deal.

Silverback and Thuney?

Draft a center snd lets ****ing go

Hell yes

Now let’s get Samuel!!!!!!!!!

SUCK MY COCK AND BALLS YOU bundle of sticksS

5/80m

BERT VERCH!!!!!!!!!

5 years, $80 million.

5 years/80 million

**** YEAH

OUR INTERIOR WOES BE OVER

1) I scouted Thuney as a scouting student studying his 2018 film. He was a really, really good to great pass blocker based on my eval.

2) This seems awfully expensive still.

After cutting two tackles and having nobody else at tackle but an unproven "rookie" who opted out I have to imagine they're still looking at a tackle, just not positive if that is Williams or not. Even if they just get Reiff that would seem to be a significantly upgraded left side of the line with LT Reiff and LG Thuney.

Watch Veach go get Williams now.

Veach plays with Monopoly money, babe. We good!

Other fans are ****ing pissed LMAO

I would think so but I wouldn’t go that far yet.

GOAT!! There is our LG

Here is the summary I wrote on Thuney based on film from 2018. So keep in mind he is probably even better now.

And draft a stud center

I really hope we are structuring the deal with Trent right now and this wasn’t option 2...

Man I really hope we can still get Williams or this will feel a little disappointing

Contract probably has a big roster bonus next season..

I love it. He's played center right? And Tackle, Curious to know where they plan to plug him in.

Finally! The Chiefs have a great left guard for the first since Waters retired.

So jizz now or edge til Williams??

Cool. But we need a LT so hopefully there is more to come.

I’d take Jason peters.

Allegretti move your ass to Center now!

**** no.

Good no more getting pushed up the ****ing middle.

Just need a LT and Center now

Holy shit not the news I was expecting LMAO

Could we get a redo on the Super Bowl now plz??

HAVE THOSE BITCHASS BUCS PLAYERS GIVEN THEIR TWO CENTS YET SEEING AS THEY LOVE TO TALK ABOUT THE CHIEFS? LOL :D

WELCOME TO THE TEAM JOE

The Chiefs haven't had a solid, let alone spectacular, left guard since Brian Waters retired.

Thuney will automatically improve the center and left tackle positions because he's just so freaking good, so it may not be necessary to go all in on Williams.

Florio says 5 years, $80 million.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...l-with-chiefs/

I didn't see this coming


But judging from the anger from other fanbases we did well

So I’m not as smart as some of you. But why did we pay a ton of money to a guard when we have glaring holes at 2 tackles and a center? I thought Allegreti was serviceable.

Quinn Meinerz

That’s exactly where I’m at.

Thuney is a stud...but Silverback is a future HOFer.

If they sign both...that’s already an elite OL.

Oh I know I know.

This is a great signing. I’m just saying I really want Williams too. That would make this a HR offseason immediately.

A 5 year deal means you can have a lower cap hit this year. Williams should still be in play.

But just imagine Williams next to Thuney Holy shit..

Yikes!

Williams Thuney Allegretti LDT Niang

That assumes we don’t even draft a starter. That’s damn solid.

Could Thuney be our new C?

Sign Trent Williams
Draft Quinn Meinerz

Done

I don't disagree but I think that the left side of the line just got a huge upgrade, so if they decided to go with Reiff or trade for Dillard, the left side will be in the best shape it's been since I can't even remember when.

2010 maybe?

Well no more Williams

You should still be scared.

Paid big money for a guard.

I’m just ready to see what they do at LT then I’ll get very excited about this signing.

My dream of having an o line that all can play center is close to reality!

So right now the line is looking like:

LT: ?
LG: Thuney
C: ?
RG: LDT
RT: Niang

Sign a LT and draft a center?

After watching him for 5 years up here I agree with your take.

Doesn't blow people off the ball.

Thuney is awesome. Not sure hes worth $16m but whatever.

Williams
Thuney
Humphrey
LDT
Niang

It’s pennies to us when you’re job is protect $500 million

Push the money around and sign Williams too.

Entirely possible the Chiefs felt they wouldn't be able to pry Williams away from the 49ers and quickly pivoted to Thuney.

Gotta trust Veach whatever it is and it's exciting to have a great player on the interior OL for the first time in forever.

I'm telling ya, the Bears need draft picks in hopes to get Wilson, lets see if they would send us James Daniels for a 3rd or something.

Williams/Thuney/Daniels/Allegretti/Niang

a boy can dream right?

For a guard. Yikes!

I’m very anxious to see what’s next. Chiefs news like this almost always comes in pairs.

:facepalm:

I’d rather have Meinerz.

I should be excited but I feel let down. Better have a good plan in place. Not excited for a Reiff player.

If this dumbass doesn't like it, it must be an awesome move....

Get ****ed, NE
