The Patriots’ most pressing need this offseason revolves around the offensive line.
And while most of New England’s struggles in the trenches and issues with pass protection were centered on a dreadful grouping of tackles, the Patriots were lacking in talent all across their five-man unit during the 2024 season.
Given Mike Vrabel’s emphasis on building up New England’s offensive and defensive lines this offseason, it should come as little surprise that the Patriots reportedly reached out to the Chiefs to gauge the availability for All-Pro left guard Joe Thuney.
Thuney — who won a pair of Super Bowls with the Patriots before eventually going on to win another two titles with the Chiefs — was eventually dealt to the Chicago Bears this week in exchange for a fourth-round pick.
