Chiefs headlines for Wednesday, May 21.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport confirmed the news, adding that the deal is worth $17.5 million per year with $33.5 million guaranteed. When taking into account his 2025 salary, Thuney is set to make $51 million over the next three seasons in Chicago.
The Bears acquired the 32-year-old Thuney in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs in March, landing him in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round draft pick.
There’s a lot to like about Kansas City, including the fact that burgeoning star wide receiver Rashee Rice returns from injury and All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones remains one of the most disruptive interior players in football. However, the Chiefs are not going to win another championship unless that O-line improves. Everything this team aspires to revolves around that.
Enter wide receiver Xavier Worthy, the 28th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft . Worthy ‘s 638 yards receiving were the second-most by a Chief in 2024 behind Kelce ‘s 823, but they were only the fifth-most among the first-round receivers selected in 2024. He’ll evolve into Mahomes’ go-to guy in 2025, which will help catapult the speedster to stardom.

Mahomes continues to rank among the best in the NFL, with only Joe Burrow posting a higher cumulative (10.72) and per-season average (3.75) WAR over the past three years. Jones earned a 91.5 pass-rush grade in 2024, his third consecutive elite season and sixth in the last seven years. McDuffie finished second among all cornerbacks in WAR behind only Patrick Surtain II, with his lowest individual grade — 79.2 in coverage — still among the best for any corner with significant snaps.

The pivot began, in my opinion, where all dramatic events in sports history begin: on TikTok. A trend recently began comparing Patrick Mahomes’ voice to the lead vocals on the party track from New York-based rapper V.I.C., “The Wobble.” Now, even Mahomes has made jabs at his own vocal pattern, but the accuracy made the comparison undeniable. Some have even connected the chorus’s vocalization to that of Travis Kelce’s, but that is a stretch too far for some to make.
