He needs to play through the next season and then retire to have a significant savings. Looking at over the cap if he retired after June 1 this year it would be a whopping $500k savings. If the way retirements hit the cap has changed recently then ignore the above and please link because I could not find it. |

Assuming you can’t split the retirement cap hot over 2 years, only $2.3M saved per my math.

He’s not retiring. There hasn’t been one mention of it
I will say I hated the signing at the time. Because it was at the same time we were pursuing Trent Williams, and boy did I want that to happen. But this has been one of Veach’s best moves. He’s so ****ing reliable. Just plug him in and forget about it |

FWIW, I said "unsubstantiated" in the original post because that's exactly what it was. A couple of rando's in the comments saying they heard he might be retiring. I just wanted to mention it here in case anybody had heard something. |

If Thuney stays and the Chiefs win it all again, he will be tied for third in most super bowl wins by a player. The list is long at 4 wins, but still pretty impressive. If he stays and wins 2 more, he will be one of the top 3 players in super bowl wins. Tom Brady has 7 and Charles Haley has 5.

Some of us (myself included) lost sight of the simple notion that just because LT is the most important position on the line, that doesn’t mean you let the rest of the line rot in pursuit of your top priority. We had mostly adequate LG play (not counting the Bucs SB) but the point was that we don’t aim for adequate, we aim for stellar. A **** awesome G was available. So get a **** awesome G when you have the chance. Didn’t have to be any more complicated than that. |
