I don't think that would be smart just because the Chiefs are already top heavy with contracts. I'd rather see a mid tier OT signing, tbh.Chiefs might be in the mix for Trent Williams..that would be interesting. He could get a $20M+/year kind of deal

A lot of money for a guard. WowChiefs signed LG Joe Thuney, formerly of the Patriots, to a five-year, $80 million contract.
The Chiefs gutted their entire offensive line this offseason, so a splash move like this one was desperately needed. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones restructured their contracts to open up 2021 cap space just days ago and most of that will be spent on this move. Thuney, 28, was considered to be the top interior offensive line free agent this offseason and offers All-Pro upside in the short term. He was a reliable starter in all five seasons with the Patriots after being a third-rounder in 2016. Kansas City is still looking for a center and at least one more offensive tackle.
Mid tier guy that might be able to play C or RT in a pinch? That works for me.Chiefs signed LG Joe Thuney, formerly of the Patriots, to a five-year, $80 million contract.

I'm guessing there was a bidding war of sorts. Makes you wonder what Trent Williams will get.A lot of money for a guard. Wow
