Last month, the Chicago Bears traded for Joe Thuney from the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a move many saw as mutually beneficial. Kansas City unloaded a large contract they could no longer afford, while Chicago got one of the best guards in the NFL. There was one lingering concern. Thuney is in the last year of his deal. He needs an extension. Most felt the Bears would move to give him one, probably along the lines of two years so that it would line up with Caleb Williams’ rookie deal.
However, Jeff Hughes of Da Bears Blog recently poked some holes in that idea. He revealed the Bears might have serious interest in North Dakota State standout Grey Zabel going into the draft, believing he has the makings of a standout guard. This is somewhat puzzling since they already appear set at both spots with Thuney and Jonah Jackson.
