After franchise-tagging Trey Smith, Kansas City is set to send one of the league's top offensive linemen to Chicago.

The Chicago Bears continued reshaping their offensive line on Wednesday after reportedly finalizing a deal to acquire guard Joe Thuney from the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2026 fourth-round pick, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Per Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs are trading veteran OL Joe Thuney to the Bears for a 2026 fourth-round pick. After acquiring G Jonah Jackson in a trade with the Rams yesterday, Chicago continues to bolster their offensive line by adding Thuney.

Two trades ahead of free agency (and deals can't be final until the start of the league year) for the #Bears -- Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney. Big-time help. https://t.co/a3ArdRkjDx
