Thuney, 28, played his first five seasons with the New England Patriots, who drafted him in the third round of North Carolina State in 2016.

Thuney, a guard, was part of two Super Bowl championship teams in New England, and he was named to the All-Pro second team in 2019.

The Patriots used their franchise tag on Thuney last year but not this year, and he became a free agent for the first time.
