The Kansas City Chiefs recently traded offensive lineman Joe Thuney. Few are more impacted by the move than Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Chicago acquires a two-time All-Pro protector, who is just 32 years old and has four Super Bowl rings. Quarterback Caleb Williams needs a player like this, as he was sacked 68 times in his first NFL season, which led the league and was tied for the third-most sacks taken all time.

The Patriots were reportedly interested in trading for Joe Thuney, but Albert Breer said that New England balked at the price.

The Chiefs have been as active — or at least as headline worthy — as any team in the NFL over the last week. They’re one of just two teams to use the franchise tag on a player. They’re the only to depart with a four-time All-Pro.

When free agency begins next week, the Chiefs will target Ronnie Stanley, the nine-year veteran who is the best left tackle on the market.
