The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former Los Angeles Chargers LB Drue Tranquill on a one-year contract. It was initially reported as a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, but at face value, it’s really a one-year deal worth $3 million with an opportunity to earn more through incentives. It’s a strikingly similar deal to the one that S Mike Edwards signed with the team.
According to the folks at Over The Cap, the 28-year-old Tranquill will have a $1.01 million base salary in 2023, which is fully guaranteed. There is also a $1.440 million prorated bonus. The deal has $510K in per-game roster bonuses. There’s also a $40K workout bonus attached to the offseason program. That’ll bring the 2023 salary cap number for Edwards to a grand total of $3 million, which is only slightly more than the $2.8 million charge for Edwards.
