Drue Tranquill Takes $2.5M Pay Cut to Stay With Chiefs, Clears Cap Space

The Chiefs have solidified their defense by renegotiating linebacker Drue Tranquill’s contract for 2026. Originally a potential cap casualty, Tranquill reduced his base salary from $6 million to $3.5 million, with $3 million fully guaranteed. This move trims $2.5 million off the Chiefs' salary cap, providing vital flexibility for the three-time defending champions. Tranquill recorded 78 tackles last season.
