Patrick Mahomes called ‘BIGGEST LOSER’ the Chiefs’ face major issues on offensive line after Joe Thuney trade

The Kansas City Chiefs may have celebrated a second straight win just months ago, but the road to a potential three-peat is already facing serious hurdles. Most notably, the team’s decision to trade away All-Pro left guard Joe Thuney to the Chicago Bears has sparked widespread concern — and left franchise quarterback Patrick Mahomes exposed. Chiefs’ offensive line shuffle leaves glaring holes on Patrick Mahomes’ blind side Thuney, a critical anchor on the Chiefs’ offensive line, was not only a dependable guard but also showed his versatility last season by stepping in at left tackle when injuries hit late. “Thuney was the insurance policy the Chiefs turned to late last season,” said NFL analyst Jeffri Chadiha.

“He assumed left tackle duties with four games left in the regular season, but he’s gone.” Now, with Thuney out and no proven replacement signed in free agency, Kansas City is gambling on patchwork solutions. Jaylon Moore, a backup left tackle from the San Francisco 49ers, was signed in the offseason. While Moore spent four years behind superstar Trent Williams, he’s untested as a starter. “Moore has been a backup behind Trent Williams for the last four years in San Francisco, which means there’s no guarantee he can be an effective option,” Chadiha warned
