NFL Teams Most Likely to Land Joe Thuney in the 2021 Offseason
There have been many past Patriot offensive lineman go, and we should expect nothing less with Belichick who hardly likes to re-sign blockers for whatever reason. Maybe he surprises us and actually keeps two important pieces on the offense. You lose your best guard, and center you are in sheer trouble to really impress big in the draft. As for Joe Thuney here's 10 places he can thrive into from day 1.
The Cincinnati Bengals are a professional American football franchise based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Bengals currently compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's American Football Conference North division. Bengals were struggling consistently to be good in the running game. Joe Mixon got hurt, Giovani Bernard fizzled. This fit makes sense to at least have a quality guard in place that you have the need and cap that fits best.
The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional football franchise based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Eagles compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference East division. Philly needs to shuffle around this line fast. They longtime veterans appear to be done. Peters looked finished, Brooks was out for the year. Pair him with Thuney and Miles Sanders can salvage a big year if the two are healthy.
The Washington Commanders are a professional American football team based in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
In 2020, Washington after 87 years got rid of the Redskins trademark due to it being labeled racist to native culture. It was named the Washington Football Team until February 2022, when the team was renamed the Washington Commanders. Washington needs to think protection before making a splash similar to other teams obviously. Scherff will be the big focus, but than you may have just enough money to go grab Thuney potentially. Antonio Gibson made a case and showed up to his hype as the unknown. This pair could really help out significantly.
The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston region.
New England Patriots are one of the few teams to have 5+ wins in the Super Bowl. Can't rule out the current team in position of a desperate off-season they must construct. Having veteran presence in this line will be very important. I'm not sure if Belichick would wanna lose another lineman like he has done historically. It becomes very crucial now with a new QB they must find too.
The San Francisco 49ers are a professional American football team located in the San Francisco Bay Area. 49ers have been able to run the ball with a least a good Guard in place. They have had problem on the other side the past few season. Thuney would fit right in for John Lynch.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a professional American football franchise based in Tampa, Florida. The Buccaneers currently compete in the National Football League as a member team of the National Football Conference South division. Another team not too likely, but a reunion with Brady isn't too far off. While that offensive line did a great job as the season went on. Tampa Bay looks like they will reload getting back most of their players. Would they have just enough to sign a key guy in place?
The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit, Michigan. The Lions compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division.
The Detroit Lions are one of the four teams to have never been to a Super Bowl, and also one of the two teams in history to go 0-16. Lions' offensive line looks like it's on the rise with what they got going on. The only weakness would be the opposite to Jonah Jackson. Sure Logan Stenberg can fill in as a backup, but despite being a Patriot guy. This signing would make sense if you want to establish having a strong running game for Swift to improve in year 2.
There's a possibility of the Chargers investing most of their money on the offensive trench which is not a bad thing. They've clearly done that with Bryan Bulaga. No question they will work hard to find big pieces for Herbert to continue his impressive start to his NFL career. Not so sure they'll have much left in the cap if they do get a Center and a left tackle. Still it is the #1 priority for the Chargers above all else.
The Atlanta Falcons are a professional American football team based in Atlanta, Georgia. The Falcons compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference South division. I'm amazed Atlanta was able to have a decent enough running game from a guy's knee whose shown to be toast at this rate in his career. There's no over looking the fact Falcons Guard tandem is just that bad. For a team, that has many 1st rounders they just don't translate apparently. Gotta help Lindstorm with a better upgrade to the left side.
The Minnesota Vikings are an American football team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Vikings joined the National Football League as an expansion team in 1960, and first took the field for the 1961 season. Vikings have a bad run blocking guard tandem up front. I'm amazed they were able to run the ball as well as they did considering the fact. The center can't do it all. The combo of Dozier, and Samia looks like a hot disaster. Would they have a decent offer to go get Thuney possibly?
