'14 IN OLB/S Drue Tranquill (Notre Dame Man)

[IrishLax]

Seems like Drue should’ve been able to cash in on a multi-year deal. Injury history the issue or some other reason?

Yeah I was surprised. Age + injury history? Based on production I assumed he’d get something like 2 Years/$12 million total.

Naw this is him backing himself to ball out on a good team and land a bigger deal in 2024

Love this quote from Drue:

Drue Tranquill revealed what made him sign with the Chiefs: “Brett Veach and Andy Reid’s message was: ‘Drue, there’s no promises here. We love you as a player. We love what you’re able to do. You’re super-versatile. You’re a total linebacker and can do it all — but we’ve got a lot of great players here, and you’re going to have to come in here and earn your way.' … It was kind of the same message when I chose Notre Dame over Purdue…If I’ve learned anything in my story, it’s when I surround myself with people who are as good — or better than — I am, I always end up coming out better on the other end.”

They announced Nick Bolton is out for a couple months after wrist surgery. Drue's likely going to fill the stat sheet again as he fills in for him. I think Drue led the team in tackles when he filled in for Bolton earlier this season.

Have him start recruiting for us.

A true Notre Dame man answer

I love Drue.

Nothing else.

Thrilled for Drue. Will be curious if resigns with KC. His past actions have proven that he’s not chasing dollars. It would seem that he will command more attention and $’s this off-season.

Yea, he's going to get paid. I still vividly remember that second ACL. I thought that had about ended his chances of playing long term. I could not be happier to have been so wrong.

Has made just over $8m in the league you hope he can double up this next deal

 

[IRISHDODGER]

wasn’t it an injury to a starter that propelled him to full-time starter this season?

 

[Ophiocordyceps]

He looked thick tonight

 

[Irish#1]

Dude’s a great example of heart and smarts elevating one’s athleticism.

 

[pumpdog20]

Happy for Drue

 

[bumpdaddy]

He's making sure to enjoy every moment...

Nice that either he or Aaron Banks will get a ring.

Awesome interview.

 

[ulukinatme]

Still a Notre Dame Man.

 

[T-Boone]

I think he means “except for Michigan god loves you…”

It's incredible how much Tranquil has accomplished with his overall lack of athleticism.
