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... |

Another thought - could this be a load management play for Bolton, to help extend his career?
We had Bolton on the field all. the. time. last year and he broke our franchise tackle record. I wonder if adding a guy like this allows us to rest Bolton on the plays where we don't necessarily need him taking a rep.

If he’s down to play special teams, he’d be a solid 4th ‘backer.

ANOTHER random thought.
Does this put us in a position, to, if pressed, be able to walk from Gay if he beats up more vaccuums or gets depressed? Or does it allow us to the freedom to use him as a really valuable trade asset (if needed)? I don't want to trade Gay - just pointing out that now we seem to have a glut of talent at the position group.

Yeah no kidding. He sucked. Two things can be true. 1. Niemann was bad at football. 2. Spags likes having a guy who he can bring in as a nickel specialist. Personally, I don't even know if he's that, even. He's a really good blitzer. I mean, he sure looks like a guy you bring in to start. So I'm just punching at projections like everybody else is. |

Gay is heading into a contract year. I wonder if they are thinking about trading him and having Tranquil be the replacement? Probably not. If so, then they would have signed Tranquil for more than 1 year.

I do agree with you that Gay is unlikely to be traded. What would you put the odds at? For me, barely above single digits. But I do think the Chiefs are not going to be in a space to extend him. Tranquil's going to have a full season to audition for the role if it's there. |
