This guy is really an interesting signing. The LB room is pretty flush, so why this guy right now? Was he just a happy accident, or is something else going on?

Harris was out there a lot, they needed to replace him. They also have limited options behind Bolton and Gay.
People are trying to connect dots that aren’t there. Gay trade, 3-4, Chenal to DE, etc. They’ve upgraded the 3rd/4th LB spot left behind by Harris, that is all. |

I think its just CHEAP CONTRACT depth and versatility. Bound to be guys injured. More match up choices for Spags. 4 LBS are not too many.

Paul Harvey’s– “The Rest of the Story” (For you old farts)
As a senior in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2013, Drue Tranquill ran for 1,420 yards, 28 touchdowns on 114 carries. He also had 16 receptions for 348 yards and five touchdowns. Last year’s Kansas City Chiefs fullback, Michael Burton is gone, having signed with the Denver Broncos. Several people on here have commented that the Chiefs use of a fullback is a waste as he really is a special teams player that plays a few times on offense. Andy Reid likes fullbacks. As a head coach since 1999, he has always had a fullback on his team. Linebackers can wear a 40s series number. Fullbacks can wear a 40s series number. Drue wore #49 while with the Chargers. When offered the job to play offense, defense, and special teams, Drue said, “Hell yes! Sign me up!" This last part I just made up, but why let facts get in the way of a good story.

This guy could also play the third Safety roll that Spags like to deploy but disguise it to the offense!
Keep em guessing... |

He can really cover at the lb spot too so that’s nice

Well, if you can't lock Travis Kelce down in 1-on-1 coverage and are basically tired of him beating you like a redheaded stepchild twice a season, go ahead and sign with his team at a ridiculously discounted price and reap the rewards.

Well if that’s the criteria we’re going to be signing all the linebackers

To me, the surprising part is NOT bringing back Harris. Wonder what the story is there. |

I agree on Tranquill. In the little bit that I've seen of him, he's always been very impressive. I'm a big fan of this signing. |

He looks like a big upgrade over Harris, imo. Much better in coverage, and I think he's more athletic, in the little film I've seen of the guy. He's in a couple of the DHop highlight reels. Obviously, he's not covering Nuk, but he shows up at the tackle or incoming. He looks pretty fast.
