Joe Thuney hasn't been with the Bears for very long. But the versatile offensive lineman nevertheless agreed to an extension with Chicago, putting him under contract with Chicago through 2027. The four-time Super Bowl champion said this week that he “couldn’t be happier” than to be with the Bears.

The Bears acquired Thuney in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick. He had just one year left on his current deal, which made signing him to an extension a priority for general manager Ryan Poles this offseason.

Joe Thuney could’ve played out the final year of his contract and tested free agency next year. Instead, he committed to the Chicago Bears for two more years.
