Fans showered the Chiefs players with cheers during last month’s Super Bowl LVIII championship parade, and one of them had a message for those supporters Linebacker Drue Tranquill, who played his first four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers before signing last year with the Chiefs as a free agent, said KC is better than LA. “This is way better than LA! Hey, this is way better than LA!” Tranquill shouted. “It’s way better than LA! I promise you that.” Randy Newman may love LA, but Tranquill not so much.
That’s why he’s thrilled to have agreed to a three-year deal to stay with the Chiefs, per multiple reports. After details of his new contract were announced, Tranquill wrote a message to fans on X (formerly Twitter): “unfinished business #ChiefsKingdom LETS GOOOOO”

Back to back titles & still saying “unfinished” is exactly the type of guys I want in KC. https://t.co/VcldaRb7YE

So happy!!!! You very quickly became a favorite last season! LFG!!!

“It’s rare Veach brings in a guy on a 1 year deal and then re-sign them to a multi year deal like this,” a fan wrote on Reddit. “Drue earned it. He really impressed us all. Love this move.”
