Drue Tranquill - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to sign with KC Tranquill is expected to sign a one-year, $5 million deal with the Chiefs on Friday, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

Impact Per Shultz, Tranquill had a long list of suitors but decided to join the reigning Super Bowl champions on a team-friendly deal. The 2019 fourth-round pick supplanted Kenneth Murray for a starting spot with the Chargers last year and posted career highs in tackles (144) and sacks (five). It'll be hard to match that type of production playing alongside Willie Gay, Nick Bolton and Leo Chenal, but Tranquill should still garner a sizable role in Kansas City's linebacker corps.

Impact Tranquill made some key plays late in the game for the Chargers, stopping Derrick Henry for a two-yard gain midway through the fourth quarter and forcing the big running back to fumble. The Titans recovered the ball, but Tranquill effectively ended the drive two plays later with a sack of Ryan Tannehill.

Tranquill's role as a tackler should come back to the forefront when the Bolts take on prolific Titans running back Derrick Henry in Week 15.

Nine stops Week 12 Tranquill logged nine tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 25-24 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Tranquill finished with the Chargers' second-most tackles behind safety Alohi Gilman (10), as the linebacker continued to play an every-down role Week 12. The 234-pounder also came one stop shy of notching his fifth double-digit tackle outing of the season, increasing his season total to 98 over 11 games. Tranquill has already logged career highs in tackles, sacks (three) and passes defended (two), and he'll look to keep up this significant production next Sunday against the division-rival Raiders.

Seven stops in close loss Tranquill recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 30-27 defeat to the Chiefs.

Impact Tranquill's production came back down to earth after he logged a season-high 15 tackles against the 49ers last week. However, the linebacker still tied safety Derwin James for a team high in tackles Week 12, as the Chargers' defense once again struggled to keep the Chiefs' offense in check for a full four quarters. Tranquill has now played every defensive snap in four of the Bolts' last five games, recording 33 tackles and three sacks over that span. He will look to continue his career-best campaign against the Cardinals this coming Sunday.

Season-high 15 tackles Tranquill logged 15 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 22-16 loss to San Francisco.

Impact Tranquill was one of two Chargers to finish with double-digit tackles, as safety Derwin James also notched 13 stops against the 49ers. These two now sit far and away as the Bolts' top two tacklers through nine games, with 82 and 85, respectively. Tranquill has already set new career highs in tackles and sacks (three) this season, and he'll likely continue to play almost every defensive snap Sunday against the Chiefs.
