Thuney has rolling guarantees but the 'pre-emptive' trigger stops in 2023.
So Thuney's 2023 salary guarantees tomorrow (2022) His 2022 salary triggered on the first day of the 2021 league year.
But his 2024 salary doesn't guarantee until the first day of the 2024 league year.
So Thuney's deal has an escape hatch after next season and I'd imagine Smith's emergence means we'll be taking it. But hell man, Kelce's gonna have a $16.4 million cap hit then and he'll be 35.
A LOT is going to change over the next 2 seasons. I think it's a reality we should probably begin preparing for now.
