It’s no secret that Joe Thuney has been an important part of the Patriots offensive line and it sounds like they haven’t given up on potentially getting him back next season.
According to SI.com’s Albert Breer, the Patriots have expressed that they’d like to keep the veteran in the fold, with the lines of communication having “reopened” between the two sides.
From Breer:
It seemed the Patriots were resigned to Thuney’s 2021 departure after tagging him last March—they had very minimal discussions on a long-term deal with him thereafter, and no progress had been made right up to when the Patriots agreed to deal for Trent Brown last week.
