Chiefs re-sign LB Drue Tranquill to a 3-year, $19M contract

Fresh off a victory in Super Bowl LVIII, the Kansas City Chiefs have made their first splash in free agency. Linebacker Drue Tranquill has agreed to terms with the Chiefs on a new three-year, $19 million contract with $13 million fully guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Drue Tranquill, who was a pivotal player during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl run, returns for the future in Kansas City. Last season, Tranquill recorded 78 total tackles, 4.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 7 quarterback hits in 16 games. 

The Chiefs’ decision to resign Tranquill likely indicates that linebacker Willie Gay Jr. will sign elsewhere in free agency. 

Tranquill reacted to the new deal on Twitter saying “unfinished business, LETS GOOOOO.”
