I think it’s a much smarter move to bring back Tranquil rather than Gay even if it were the same money.

I think it's safer. And I think the Chiefs obviously prefer Tranquill so it's kinda silly for me to argue to the contrary.

But I think Gay brings some really unique attributes to the table that we're going to miss even if Chenal steps up (Leo just doesn't have Gay's fluidity).

If I could have either guy for the same money, I'd bring back Gay. But the Chiefs clearly trust Tranquill more and there's something to be said for that.
