“Everyone’s pulling in the same direction,” said Thuney, whom the Bears traded for in March. “Everybody’s really determined to keep working and improving, and it’s kind of what I’m used to and it felt right. And then, you know, Chicago is a city, a franchise with, you know, so much history.”

The Chicago Bears have ensured that left guard Joe Thuney will be a part of the future and not an expensive one-year rental.

According to Thuney's agent Mike McCartney, Thuney agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Bears. Per CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones, Thuney now makes $51 million over the next three seasons with $33.5 million worth of guaranteed money as part of this new deal.
