The Chicago Bears and two-time All-Pro guard Joe Thuney have agreed to a two-year contract extension, agent Mike McCartney announced Tuesday.
The extension is for $17.5 million per season, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, making his new three-year contract worth $51 million with $33.5 million fully guaranteed at signing.
Thuney was traded to the Bears by the Kansas City Chiefs in March in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round draft pick. He was entering the final season of a five-year, $80 million contract he signed with the Chiefs as a free agent in 2021.
Bears general manager Ryan Poles had said that an extension for Thuney was a priority this offseason. The new deal provides continuity along the team’s interior offensive line, with Thuney, center Drew Dalman and guard Jonah Jackson all under contract through the 2027 season.
