On Thursday evening, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that linebacker Drue Tranquill is expected to re-sign with the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of free agency.
Tranquill signed with the Chiefs last offseason as an unrestricted free agent after spending his first four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. He drew strong reviews from the coaching staff for his ability to play any linebacker position as needed. Tranquill demonstrated that flexibility as starting middle linebacker Nick Bolton missed much of the season with an arm injury.
In 16 regular season games, Tranquill totaled 78 tackles with 4.5 sacks and a pair of forced fumbles. He added 16 more tackles, including one for a loss, in the Chiefs’ playoff run that ended with a Super Bowl LVIII victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
