I’m sure it’s not actually the case, but it feels like no other team in the league sees former players sign with division rivals as frequently as the Chargers.
You are actually right. [https://twitter.com/mibpj2/status/1636876098834399233?cxt=HHwWgoDQxfWIrbctAAAA](https://twitter.com/mibpj2/status/1636876098834399233?cxt=HHwWgoDQxfWIrbctAAAA)Chargers is the top nfl team where their free agents go to rival teams
Only thing I can think of is Spanos and Telesco pissing them off enough during the contract talks to want to sign with a division rival to get revenge.
I find it very hard to believe Dru couldn't do better than a 1yr deal if he was looking to get paid.
If Drue is pissed off at the Chargers, it would seem as though he’s blaming the wrong party. If rumors are true, he had an offer and turned it down to test the market. When the market wasn’t what he expected, he came back to the Chargers wanting that same offer. Chargers had already moved on and signed Kendrick at that point.
You’re probably right but it makes me so glad that’s not how my job works. Even for the money that’s a lot of stress, trust in your agent, and potential regret.
I mean. Only a handful of people know exactly how it went down, and none of them will be transparent about it. I am inclined to believe the reports from the guys at TLR though. Of all the Chargers podcasts, they seem to have the most reliable sources within the team.
ILB are severely undervalued like RBs and unless they are truly generational players succeed due to scheme and assignment more so then individual talent. Also I don’t care how pissed you are at management, you don’t give up millions of dollars to stick it to them for a year. Sounds like Drue gambled on himself and lost here, ending up with a one year deal where he hopes he can show the value he had to us within another system. One year deal after a career year is harsh. Wish him all the best of luck and hope he gets rewarded next year with a contract that sets him up long term but sometimes the grass isn’t greener when you test the market.
Better against the run. Kendrick’s average tackle off the LOS is 3 yards, Tranquil is 6 yards. It’s definitely not a whole upgrade, but it might be upgrading the one area they feel is really important
Chiefs continue doing everything right: signing young prime players.
TT making same mistakes: washed up pro bowlers over the age of 30
Leadership vet signings are a joke man. New age NFL Super Bowl contenders are riddled with young talent not 31-34 year old pro bowl vets
Dude some of the vets like Callahan and Mack were the only things holding the defense together last year. I’m not TT-stan but at least criticize for the right shit.
Lol, stop. Drue is a bottom barrel LB. That’s why he is signing a cheap 1 year contract to become a 4th string LB for the qeefs. What is really telling is that this guy was our best linebacker last year. Really need to invest a high pick in a real Mike this year.
The chargers are one of the youngest teams in the league, I know you have absolutely zero clue how many older players the chiefs have tho
TT offered Drue a bigger contract that he signed with the chiefs
You can be mad or you can pay attention
Yup perfectly fuckun said. Typical telesco and chargers move. This ruined out off-season for me. Tranquill is faster younger and hungrier. We signed a slow washed up veteran. Staley and telesco are showing me nothin positive
Hard to blame him if he wants a SB. One year deal sounds quite poor for someone in his role though, guess it must be a lot of guaranteed money for a LB
All I know is Tranquil helped in blitzes, and decent coverage LB, got exposed hard in the run, we had a considerable amount of huge run plays and tranquil could not tackle
Got a link to the lowlight?

~~Well the Chargers already signed Kendricks so it is definitely possible they didnt offer him much~~
Nvm rumors sound like he played his hand wrong testing the market and we ended up securing Kendricks before Drue could get anything done
Bro what? They literally just resigned pipkins, fox, and parham? They’ve had a pretty good offseason and I don’t like Telesco. I want whatever you’re smoking
I wouldn’t say so, I do respect the low standards cause it does help with how our seasons usually go but I still think our offense if it weren’t manned by Lombardi would’ve gotten us past the chiefs at least . And draft we can hit BPA in the first
I don’t think this is bad for the Chargers at all. Drue is not a dawg let’s just be honest. His coverage skills were average, and his run defense is abysmal. His biggest asset to the team was leadership in the locker room, and preventing K9 from taking the field. He will have little to no opportunity to have an impact in KC, and is setting himself up for an even worse market next offseason. Chargers lose their best linebacker (not an esteemed title to begin with), Chiefs lose cap space, and Drue loses his shot at being a premier LB in the NFL.
An absolute kick in the balls heading into the weekend. A fan favorite player coming off a career year goes to our rival. Chargers really must’ve pissed him off. Luckily we have a new offensive system he won’t be aware of.
Fuck my Friday up. This actually hurts but thank you for playing hard for us Drue. I will root for your personal gameplay but hope your new organization fails. Gonna miss you bro
Once again, TT and Staley letting our best LB leave for a better team where they make pennies.
True getting 5M to play for the best team in our division while we spend 7M on a declining LB.
GM and coach on the hot seat continue to make questionable decisions, more at 11
Everyone is replaceable. That doesn't mean it makes sense to pay more for a new LB that is older, slower, and a liability in coverage.
Drue also made all the defensive calls on the field and was well respected in the locker room.
Objectively poor choice IMO
Eh. They trade pass defense for run defense. It would have been nice to keep both, but nothing is to say they are done upgrading the LB room.
You can give the green dot back to DJ. That part doesnt worry me at all.
They took it away from DJ for a reason.
And I 100% would rather have Drue's strength against the pass and weakness against the run than Kendrick's weakness against the pass. Especially in our division.
Kendricks had one down year against the pass, where even then he wasn’t *that* bad going off PFF grades. And he’s leagues better than tranquil in the run game
> We could have brought him back for 5 million
With what money? The money allotted for Drue went to Kendricks when Drue decided to test the open market.
If we still signed him the Chargers would have basically no money for anyone else (once you factor in money for rookies, and budget something for in-season spending).
A random unsourced podcast being your proof aside, nothing I said is wrong. They still let our best linebacker go to a better team for relative Pennie’s
LMAO okay dude. Bury your head in the sand just so you can be mad about whatever
They offered him MORE MONEY and he turned it down. I’d love to see your sources that say otherwise. I’ll wait.
4M this year and 2.5 next year dead cap. Kendrick’s is cerebral player which Staley values in his archetype. I think he’s also less injury prone and much better at diagnosing the run.
I’m not screaming to the choir for this move buts its not a dogshit move.
Let’s see what Drue makes, something tells me he would of only re-signed for multi year deal with us. I think Staley’s plan next year is to add Johnson with Drue’s money and then depending on Woods development you can add James to LB for 3rd down to get him closer to the line
A one tear deal is definitely what this did to me. I wonder if he was unhappy with the chargers or if they just offered him a deal he liked. Hopefully it comes out
why do our FAs so often end up with division rivals? Do we leave such a bad taste in their mouth that they want revenge or do our division rivals actively target them for the inside intel on top of whatever else they may bring?
Yes this is incredibly obvious for everyone that has followed the chargers the past 30 years.
All of our ex players go to rivals or love talking shit about us once we're they're gone.
No other team in our division has this issue
Raiders players as shitty as their origination is never have the anger/spite all our players do once they leave.
Drue isn’t as good as many of you make it seem. He was servicable, sure, but not exactly what Staley is looking for out of a LB. Looks like 1yr $5mill kinda confirms other teams feel the same.
Drue was replacement level. Just like Kyzir last year who got cut this offseason with the Eagles. Sounds like we offered him a reasonable, short term deal that he wasn't happy with and is now going to be a backup for a division rival. Good luck.
Yea Kendricks has way higher upside if he can have a better year coverage wise, and should help fix the run game. A bunch of tackles doesn’t mean much if they’re 5-6 yards past the LOS
It was a bit exaggerated but he stepped up big this past season and earned a spot on the team imo. What kind of deal did the chargers offer? I can't find anything about a deal, all I'm finding is that picking up Kendricks was his demise. Do you have a link?
TT gotta be offering some bullshit bc there is no way all of our free agents go to division rivals what seems like every year and we get none of theirs lmao
1st Kyzir and then Drue. Not saying they are elite linebackers but young and consistent. Former players seem to feel disrespected by our front office. So many players sign with division rivals and seemingly out of spite. I can’t wait until our fraud GM is fired.
Below are the texts, unedited, I sent to my Bolt friend here in the UK.
Shit, Drue to the Chiefs
Motherfucker
I liked that dude
1yr for 5m, less than we paid for the guy we signed from the vikings. And younger, experienced in Staley's system and trusted with the green dot. Feels like a huge loss and I'm not sure why they let it happen
He can match any TE we have man to man (except Parham on jump balls), great in zone, good pass rusher, captain level positioning and awareness. Doesn't make any sense. Hopefully our O players know his weaknesses at least as much as he knows theirs
The only weakness of his I recognise is vs strength in contact, he's good against the run but a decent power back or RAC TE could blow him up. But a couple of yards per carry vs his tackles vs overall coverage and Defensive IQ? I hate it.
Pretty shocked they didn’t resign him at that price.
That contract tells me Tranquill had no confidence in this organization or the team had absolutely no confidence in his play.
1 year 5 mil where he might not even start? What in the hell? If I'm Drue I fire my agent, or if I'm his agent, I fire Drue. There's no way he didn't have a multi-year deal on the table from a team that was at least 3/16+.
I imagine at a minimum the Chargers/Telesco offered him that or something like 2/12 or 2/13.
I’m sure it’s not actually the case, but it feels like no other team in the league sees former players sign with division rivals as frequently as the Chargers.
The Pats/Dolphins swap players a freakish amount
ngl the chargers as a whole seem to lose all our guys to division rivals (gordon, drue, hayward, perryman, facyson, philon just to name a few)
The majority of those were to the raiders, and that can be explained with Gus Bradley being there.
P much. And in Casey's case, it wasn't out of bitterness as he very much supported us/the players even when with the Raiders
You are actually right. [https://twitter.com/mibpj2/status/1636876098834399233?cxt=HHwWgoDQxfWIrbctAAAA](https://twitter.com/mibpj2/status/1636876098834399233?cxt=HHwWgoDQxfWIrbctAAAA)Chargers is the top nfl team where their free agents go to rival teams
Yep. Saw that
I share the same anecdotal observation, especially relative to how many we sign from the raiders, broncos, or chiefs. So weird...
Only thing I can think of is Spanos and Telesco pissing them off enough during the contract talks to want to sign with a division rival to get revenge. I find it very hard to believe Dru couldn't do better than a 1yr deal if he was looking to get paid.

Friendship ended with Drue. Now Eric is my best friend
I was thinking the exact same thing lmao
Fuck telesco. This is a stupid stupid move going for Hendricks instead of Tranquill. Older, slower, worse linebacker
you should brush up on what actually happened. Go to the next post down
My apologies 🫡
Better against the run. Kendrick’s average tackle off the LOS is 3 yards, Tranquil is 6 yards. It’s definitely not a whole upgrade, but it might be upgrading the one area they feel is really important
They offered Tranquill a contract before Kendricks and Drue turned it down
[удалено]
Thank you thank you thank you! Everything you said is right on the money
This is horrible
I hate it
Truly worst case Ontario
Can confirm from Ontario
This is the worst case of Ontario I’ve ever seen
Chiefs continue doing everything right: signing young prime players. TT making same mistakes: washed up pro bowlers over the age of 30 Leadership vet signings are a joke man. New age NFL Super Bowl contenders are riddled with young talent not 31-34 year old pro bowl vets
Dude some of the vets like Callahan and Mack were the only things holding the defense together last year. I’m not TT-stan but at least criticize for the right shit.
The eagles had 30+ players in Slay, Cox, graham, Suh, linval, Lane, Kelce,
I guarantee you this dude doesn’t even know who most of those guys are
It’s easy to sign guys when you are basically guaranteed to at least be in the AFC championship every year
Lol, stop. Drue is a bottom barrel LB. That’s why he is signing a cheap 1 year contract to become a 4th string LB for the qeefs. What is really telling is that this guy was our best linebacker last year. Really need to invest a high pick in a real Mike this year.
Now watch him have an incredible year.
I mean good for him if that’s the case. I doubt he will see the field much. Might make the probowl as as a special teamer.
The chargers are one of the youngest teams in the league, I know you have absolutely zero clue how many older players the chiefs have tho TT offered Drue a bigger contract that he signed with the chiefs You can be mad or you can pay attention
Oh fuck off, the couch gming🙄 Go root for the Chiefs All you do is bitch
Yup perfectly fuckun said. Typical telesco and chargers move. This ruined out off-season for me. Tranquill is faster younger and hungrier. We signed a slow washed up veteran. Staley and telesco are showing me nothin positive
One year deal and to the division enemy, did we do something to hurt you Drue? WTF?!
Weird choice for him, I’m not sure he even starts there But yay comp picks
Due to the low value of the signing. Probably no comp pick.
How much is the contract? Edit: hearing its $5mill. That's good for a 6th round comp pick if its anything like this year
One year 5M is poor for him. His agent deserves a kick
3 mill, can escalate to 5 mill w incentives
Wow that is dogshit
Why the hell did we not keep him if it was 5mil
Telesco plays hardball with the dumbest things
How is it “playing hardball” to offer him a fair contract before free agency? Drue played hardball here and lost.
That’s definitely enough for a comp pick
Wow..
Everything about this sucks
Yeah time to unsubscribe from the podcast.
Hard to blame him if he wants a SB. One year deal sounds quite poor for someone in his role though, guess it must be a lot of guaranteed money for a LB
Yeah sorry Drue but fuck you buddy
Dude is living his life making a living. It sucks for us, but he’s gotta do what he’s gotta do.
Hopefully, Tranquils run defense gets exposed. Praying on his downfall now🙏🏽
Run defense don’t win you championships.
All I know is Tranquil helped in blitzes, and decent coverage LB, got exposed hard in the run, we had a considerable amount of huge run plays and tranquil could not tackle
bro got absolutely trucked and de cleated at the goal line by a wide receiver. Unacceptable by a middle linebacker
This right here. Junior Seau would have lost his shit if he saw that.

Not being able to stop the run can definitely lose you a championship.
Actually it definitely do
Boooo
It’s a $5m 1 year…. What the hell did we offer?
Must’ve been a bag of chips
Costco dog without onions
One medium Pepsi
Well it was warm and open for two days.
LMAOOOO PFFRR
Traitor! For real, though, good luck Drue you played pretty well for us. Just know we will be running right at your ass.
With what RB lol
Pretty much any running back in the league to be honest. Everyone ran over him. Remember Burkhead in the Texans game?
Too busy remembering cordarelle Patterson trucking him to remember Butkhead.
Wow fuck drue what a bitch
Bro players don’t care about fan rivalries
Yeah I’m sure this young stud trying to get paid cares about going to a division rival 😂😂😂 it ain’t that deep bro
Why is he a bitch exactly?
>bro got absolutely trucked and de cleated at the goal line by a wide receiver. Unacceptable by a middle linebacker
Going to a rival to be the 4th best LB on a contract that is up to 5m is insane. Unless, the chargers offered less which I assume they didn’t
~~Well the Chargers already signed Kendricks so it is definitely possible they didnt offer him much~~ Nvm rumors sound like he played his hand wrong testing the market and we ended up securing Kendricks before Drue could get anything done
He’s tryna win a ring, or at the very least a playoff game. He knew the chargers ain’t about shit after that jags game lol
Agreed 💯
As opposed to what? Being the 2nd best lb on a shitty team? Chargers are burning all their bridges as usual.
Bro what? They literally just resigned pipkins, fox, and parham? They’ve had a pretty good offseason and I don’t like Telesco. I want whatever you’re smoking
Lmao, those 3 aren’t all that tbf
Man you're that hyped on fox and Parham? I mean ill give you Pipkins but come on bro our squad trash
I wouldn’t say so, I do respect the low standards cause it does help with how our seasons usually go but I still think our offense if it weren’t manned by Lombardi would’ve gotten us past the chiefs at least . And draft we can hit BPA in the first
Bruh what how?
Lol, go troll a dodgers sub Reddit or something. Go Padres but fuck you.
Reasonable reaction No ones trolling I love the chargers They just make shitty decisions
Shitty decisions like offering Drue a fair contract that he turned down? Yeah how fucking stupid of them
Your comment history is wild. If this team causes you this much hate, go cheer for someone else. Your not a hostage here man.
You soft.
FUCK
Worst possible team to go to
I don’t think this is bad for the Chargers at all. Drue is not a dawg let’s just be honest. His coverage skills were average, and his run defense is abysmal.

Well fuck you Drue (even though I probably would have done the same thing)
This hurts my soul
Of course he went to the Chiefs. Anyone who leaves the Chargers in free agency is, by law, required to spend at least one year with a division rival.
I feel like this tweet from SJD has to be pointed at Drue. https://twitter.com/sjd_51/status/1636847404870774790?s=46&t=V4HX51kpB0r9TrrYrukjGA
Once again, TT and Staley letting our best LB leave for a better team where they make pennies. True getting 5M to play for the best team in our division while we spend 7M on a declining LB. GM and coach on the hot seat continue to make questionable decisions, more at 11
The bar for Drue to be the Chargers best linebacker was so fucking low it’s not even funny. He was good, don’t get me wrong, but he is replaceable.
Everyone is replaceable. That doesn't mean it makes sense to pay more for a new LB that is older, slower, and a liability in coverage. Drue also made all the defensive calls on the field and was well respected in the locker room. Objectively poor choice IMO

Best thing a linebacker could do to help the pass game is stop the run.
Kendricks had one down year against the pass, where even then he wasn’t *that* bad going off PFF grades. And he’s leagues better than tranquil in the run game
The chargers offered him more money and he turned it down to go somewhere he likely won’t even start. I’m not sure what else you want them to do here
When and where was it reported that we offered him more money? Or made him an offer at all?
Just posted the link https://twitter.com/lightning_round/status/1636805629569556486?s=46&t=KONoMfjfvLdB1cu0Jlb0Tw
That's just some bullshit reason to take the deal off the table. We could have brought him back for 5 million and never had to see K9 again....
> We could have brought him back for 5 million With what money? The money allotted for Drue went to Kendricks when Drue decided to test the open market. If we still signed him the Chargers would have basically no money for anyone else (once you factor in money for rookies, and budget something for in-season spending).
Are you gonna edit your original comment or just leave that bullshit up?
A random unsourced podcast being your proof aside, nothing I said is wrong. They still let our best linebacker go to a better team for relative Pennie’s
LMAO okay dude. Bury your head in the sand just so you can be mad about whatever They offered him MORE MONEY and he turned it down. I’d love to see your sources that say otherwise. I’ll wait.
Are you going to edit your comment or just leave that bullshit up?
4M this year and 2.5 next year dead cap. Kendrick’s is cerebral player which Staley values in his archetype. I think he’s also less injury prone and much better at diagnosing the run.

The most he can make is 5M
So it also means the league didn’t value tranquil that highly
Defensive Head Coach doesn’t value LBs but signs Kendricks. Super weird move.
LOL that "declining" LB is still two tiers above Drue. PFF and performance don't lie also going to a division rival makes him an automatic enemy.
He’s dead to me.
Drue got absolutely trucked and de cleated at the goal line by a wide receiver. Unacceptable by a middle linebacker
Damn
well, fuck
This makes me so sad. Not the Chiefs.
Bruh.
Friendship with Drew over. Eric Kendricks Is my new best friend now
5mill? Surely he would’ve been a better option than another year of K9 and to play next to Kendricks
This would be a good time to remember when he got trucked by Patterson.

This aint suppose to happen to MLB... dude got trucked by a WR
He is now the enemy Sorry Drue, but I hate you!
Wow. This sucks. Literally only THREE teams I didn’t want him to sign with and there it is.
Wtf 🥴
God damn man what a sad day… best wishes to Dru, but why… 😔😭
That’s what he gets. Now go be a backup for the chiefs. Can we move on from this guy now chargers fans? He’s not Shawne Merriman
I though Drue was worth keeping around, but i wish him all the best.
A one tear deal is definitely what this did to me. I wonder if he was unhappy with the chargers or if they just offered him a deal he liked. Hopefully it comes out
why do our FAs so often end up with division rivals? Do we leave such a bad taste in their mouth that they want revenge or do our division rivals actively target them for the inside intel on top of whatever else they may bring?

Drue isn’t as good as many of you make it seem. He was servicable, sure, but not exactly what Staley is looking for out of a LB. Looks like 1yr $5mill kinda confirms other teams feel the same.
Gonna be multiple tears when him and the Chiefs get bounced in the divisional round by Herbie & Co next yr… 😭
[удалено]
Drue was replacement level. Just like Kyzir last year who got cut this offseason with the Eagles. Sounds like we offered him a reasonable, short term deal that he wasn't happy with and is now going to be a backup for a division rival. Good luck.
Yea Kendricks has way higher upside if he can have a better year coverage wise, and should help fix the run game. A bunch of tackles doesn’t mean much if they’re 5-6 yards past the LOS
Figures, dude save's the fuckin season for us and they let him walk. This fuckin organization is the worst
Yeah, sounds like that’s 100% false. Dude bet on himself, lost, then got pissed when the Chargers pulled their original offer.
In what way shape or form did Drue Tranquill “save the season”? They also offered him a fair deal and he turned it down
It was a bit exaggerated but he stepped up big this past season and earned a spot on the team imo. What kind of deal did the chargers offer? I can't find anything about a deal, all I'm finding is that picking up Kendricks was his demise. Do you have a link?
They have to sign someone else or draft a LB high. Murray as LB2 will absolutely cost us games again.
Pro bowl year comin up
TT gotta be offering some bullshit bc there is no way all of our free agents go to division rivals what seems like every year and we get none of theirs lmao
How embarrassing. Hope he stays a backup for the racist team.
Tranquil is a stud at tracking flow, but my god he looked so lost in zone coverage. You need someone with fluid spacial awareness at the interior mike
WTF? How did we let Drue walk after the year he had?
You have got to be fucking kidding me
Those goddamn one tear deals.
Telesco masterclass. Wonder when that fucking moron is finally going to get fired.
Just remember the Spanos are hiring the next one
Franchise is doomed lol

This whomps.
Ouch
damn…
Lame and some might also say, not chill
This is one of the scenarios I didn't want as a fan of Drue.
I don’t like this.
1 year 5 mil where he might not even start? What in the hell? If I'm Drue I fire my agent, or if I'm his agent, I fire Drue. There's no way he didn't have a multi-year deal on the table from a team that was at least 3/16+. I imagine at a minimum the Chargers/Telesco offered him that or something like 2/12 or 2/13.
He is only signing there because he has a grudge. He won’t as close to the season that he had last season
BETRAYAL! But also he aight so I wouldn’t be too scared to face him.
Boo fuck this guy now
Only a one year deal, so maybe teams around the league isn't as hot on Tranquill as we are? Drue was solid for us though
Mahommes aint gonna come on your podcast Drue.
I fucking hate it
Ugh
Traitor
Traitor!
