The big deal here is that it's pretty obvious at this point that Spags, insane as it is to say, really missed Ben Niemann last year.
Not that Ben Niemann was anything special, but he was a specialist to take the field on obvious passing downs and relieve Gay/whomever the Sam was.
Sure, Tranquil essentially makes the Chiefs bulletproof at LB. But if Tranquil, with those amazing numbers last season, chose this team over five other teams, that means the Chiefs promised him a ton of snaps.
That means you're going to see Bolton/Tranquil in nickel all year. And a lot less of Gay and Chenal as well.
We'll see what happens when the preseason bullets start flying, but... Very fascinating...
