Yahoo Sports Some Chargers fans didn’t handle it well when learning Drue Tranquill joined Chiefs
The Chargers reportedly had hoped to sign linebacker Drue Tranquill, but the two sides couldn’t agree on terms, so he tested free agency and found a new home with the Chiefs.
Tranquill on Friday agreed with the Chiefs on a one-year, $3 million contract, which can max out at $5 million through incentives, the Star’s Herbie Teope reported.
Many Chargers fans learned the news from Tranquill, who tweeted a message to the Chiefs. He also changed a Twitter photo to one of him at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Hey there @Chiefs
BIG TIME ENERGY ️#ChiefsKingdom— Drue Tranquill (@DTranquill) March 17, 2023
That didn’t sit well with many Chargers fans, who offered a variety of replies to Tranquill. Many were salty, but some fans were brokenhearted that he had chosen to join the Chiefs.
A few said Tranquill was the Chargers’ best linebacker but now he’d simply be a reserve with the Chiefs (which seems critical of the LA position group).
Here is a look at what was being said on Twitter.
Damn petty, the whole fanbase had your back, too. For $5M just to sit on the chiefs bench
