The Chiefs spent the offseason bolstering the team as they prepared to try and repeat, and that included signing linebacker Drue Tranquill away from the Chargers.
Tranquill signed in Kansas City during the first week of free agency, and the linebacker said the Chiefs recruited him pretty hard. So much so that coach Andy Reid was recruiting him up until Tranquill made his decision.
“I was really honored by the way the Chiefs pursued me, all the way from the front office down to the coaching staff,” Tranquill said, via NFL.com. “Andy Reid literally texted me the morning of [when] I was going to make my decision and he was like, ‘Think red. Think red. Think Super Bowls.’ I just felt really valued over there, felt like they really had a role for me and really wanted me over there.”
