The Chicago Bears continue to strengthen their offensive line.
The Bears have acquired the Kansas City Chiefs at the Kansas City Chiefs twice in exchange for a fourth round choice in the NFL 2026 draft, in several reports.
For the Chiefs, Thune’s trade would have been a financial decision because the 32 -year -old goalkeeper has a ceiling charge of almost $ 27 million, which they could not afford. The chiefs released $ 16 million in an essential salary ceiling space to meet other needs.

Thuney slipped to the left tackle last season for the chiefs, offering an essential stability at the quarter-rear Patrick Mahomes in the section after other players had a hard time.
He was an invaluable member of two different dynasties because he won two Super Bowls with the New England Patriots, then two with the Chiefs of Kansas City.
While losing Thuney, the chiefing franchise labeled the Trey Smith right guard on Tuesday, ensuring that the star of the stars would not hit the free agency.

Thuney is the second offensive line player that the Bears have acquired in as many days.
The Bears would have sent a sixth round choice in 2025 to acquire the goalkeeper of the pro Bowl Jonah Jackson of the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday.
With the acquisitions of Thuney and Jackson, the Bears fortified their interior offensive line for the quarter-Arrière Caleb Williams.

The reinforcements are essential for Williams because it was the most dismissed quarter of the NFL last season, dropping behind the melee line 68 times.
Before playing last season with the Rams, Jackson spent four seasons with the Detroit Lions, where the head coach of the Bears Ben Johnson was now his attacking coordinator in Detroit.
Johnson understands the importance of a strong offensive line because his offense in Detroit was based on the strength of their offensive line.
