Unlike the Donald Parham deal that came to be earlier on Friday, the Chargers will not end up re-signing with the team. Instead, he’s taking his talents to an AFC West rival in the Chiefs on a one-year deal worth $5 million.
Like Parham, Tranquill and his camp wanted to test the market after he refused a previous deal offered by the Bolts at the start of the legal tampering window. After the linebacker market played out over the past four days, it looks as if Tranquill took a deal with less money for the opportunity to win more games despite likely coming off the bench in Kansas City.
