Moment During Giants Game Proves Joe Thuney Trade Was A Grand Slam

The trade came as a genuine shock. Teams generally don’t move great players for any reason unless they’re disgruntled or not performing well. Neither was the case with Joe Thuney in Kansas City. He was still fantastic for them at left guard and had never been a malcontent in any way. However, the Chiefs found themselves in a salary cap crunch. They wanted to extend Trey Smith, who was younger. That led to a tough decision. They needed to trade Thuney, and the Bears, who needed help up front, were quick to pounce.
