Joe Thuney is no longer with the Kansas City Chiefs but his bank balance is going be thanking him in the next few years.

The 32-year-old has signed a two-year contract extension with his new team, the Chicago Bears, meaning he can make up to $51million across the next three seasons with $33.5m fully guaranteed.

Thuney swapped Kansas City for Chicago earlier in the offseason in a trade that got the Chiefs a fourth-round pick.

The four-time Super Bowl winner is a key addition for new Bears coach Ben Johnson and will be tasked with protecting Caleb Williams ahead of his second season in Chicago.

Last year, Thuney proved his value via his versatility in a move to left tackle with the Chiefs. 

And while Kansas City’s struggles in the offensive line ultimately proved their downfall when they lost the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles, Thuney was one of the standouts for the Chiefs in their run to the showpiece game of the season.
