Chiefs Drue Tranquill to Chiefs - Page 24

Sources: 1 year, up to $5M for Drue Tranquill to the #Chiefs, who I’m told chose Kansas City over five other suitors. https://t.co/NjlxDZVhlk

Well, he doesn't suck, but there were posters who were talking about saving some cash down the line by just keeping guys like him around instead of paying Bolton.

I'm gonna say nah to that one. A couple awful whiffed tackles out there tonight that I think Bolton would have wrapped up.

Well, I heard he hasn't really been impressed with your 2023 performance either.

You would sacrifice a future HOF center ???????

I liked it when Leo Chanel no.5 was playing corner, that always seems smart.

Drew and Chenal tore it up tonight. We have the best LB'ers in the league.

We ran the ball for big yardage on the Jets DL. Nobody else has done that in two years.

Very good point to bring up in a thread... Let me double check.. yup, a thread talking about a LB. Very pertinent and on topic!

Tranquillit kept motivating our OL and RBs all night and made the difference

$7 million AAV is very fair IMO

I think this is the play.

Though, honestly, with the way Chenal has come along this season, they could look to just find a cheap option at SAM or WLB in FA and draft another 3-4th LB again and probably be just fine.

RE: Nick Bolton, I absolutely love him and have for a long time. But I wouldn't break the bank for him and certainly wouldn't pay him over Sneed or Jones.
[Reply]

Yeah, Sneed is.....man he's just really good at a valuable position.

And he got pinned on the long Hall run that Cook saved.

He's a quality player but he's no Nick Bolton.

I'd absolutely pay Bolton over Sneed.

Yep, Bolton is the best tackler on the team.

That is why I pay Bolton. He is just that guy on defense that has a nose for the ball and rarely seems to miss tackles.

I have been saying that the Tranquil signing was one of the most underrated of the offseason. Still, I think he got worked a few times against the Jets. I was a little disappointed. I think he will be fine but yeah, he's no Bolton.
