Also if we resign him I am sure this years cap hit will be lower than the $15 mil he is getting now
He cannot be re-signed until the end of the regular season anymore, hence his cap hit is 14M this season whether at the Pats or on a team which trades for him.
To judge by his play the last two years, he is well worth keeping this year and try to extend him next off season where the Pats get some needed room with the cap.
I'd rather keep Thuney than keeping Mason based on what they have shown last year if you go for a cap release. Cannon is also one option to be released/traded after this season if he does not perform better than last year.
Regarding a trade, if you don't get a 3rd for him you don't ship him out, period. You'll get a comp 3rd next year so either you get more value (in picks or an "very good" player which can help you out immediately) or you keep him as he is an all-pro level G.
There are many other options to free up cap sapce if needed, Thuney is way back on this list because of his quality and value he adds to the team.
