The Kansas City Chiefs are re-signing linebacker Drue Tranquill to a three-year, $19 million contract with $13 million guaranteed, according to multiple media reports on Thursday night.
Tranquill, 28, signed as a free agent with the Chiefs and played in 16 regular-season games with eight starts, and all four playoff games (one start) as Kansas City captured its second consecutive Super Bowl championship.
He made 78 tackles, including seven tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in the regular season.
The Los Angeles Chargers had selected him in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame. He started 27 of 47 regular-season games in four seasons with the Chargers, totaling 298 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and one interception.
Tranquill intercepted a pass in a 2022 wild-card playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He became a free agent in March 2023.
