KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
During free agency, one of the main draws of playing for the Kansas City Chiefs is the allure of competing for a championship. No player experienced a greater example of that than linebacker Drue Tranquill, who loved his first year so much that he’s re-upped for more.

Late last week, it was announced that Tranquill was set to return on a new three-year contract. With the deal signed, the 28-year-old spoke to the media on Wednesday morning and had quite a bit to say about returning.

Now just over a month removed from winning his first Super Bowl, Tranquill is already looking ahead to the 2024-25 season.

“Well, Mick (Shaffer), it’s been fantastic,” Tranquill said. “I’m used to the season ending there in the middle of January and to be able to play football into February… I was telling my wife and teammates, ‘This is the first game in February I’ve ever played in my entire life.’ It was special. It’s been a special past month. It’s a quick turnaround, obviously, with OTAs around the corner here but man, I want to do it again and again and again. I was telling my linebacker coach, ‘I feel more hungry to go win a Super Bowl now than I did six months ago.’ And he goes, ‘It’s the strangest feeling.’ He’s won six himself. The hunger to go win another one is crazy. I’m excited.”
