NFL’s Latest Blockbuster Trade Throws Wrench In Patriots’ Plans

The New England Patriots’ path toward upgrading their offensive line just got a bit more difficult.

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach made the tough decision to part ways with Joe Thuney on Wednesday, shipping him to the Chicago Bears for a future fourth-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Veach’s decision certainly was bold, but necessary given the boot-to-ass performance put on by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

Thuney was forced to play left tackle in that game given the issues his team was facing at the position, and looked exactly how you’d expect a guy playing out of position to look against an all-time defensive front.
