Fans showered the Chiefs players with cheers during last month’s Super Bowl LVIII championship parade, and one of them had a message for those supporters

Linebacker Drue Tranquill, who played his first four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers before signing last year with the Chiefs as a free agent, said KC is better than LA.

“This is way better than LA! Hey, this is way better than LA!” Tranquill shouted. “It’s way better than LA! I promise you that.”

Randy Newman may love LA, but Tranquill not so much.

That’s why he’s thrilled to have agreed to a three-year deal to stay with the Chiefs, per multiple reports.

After details of his new contract were announced, Tranquill wrote a message to fans on X (formerly Twitter): “unfinished business #ChiefsKingdom LETS GOOOOO”

Travis Kelce responded to that photo of his teammate and was fired up.

Tranquill’s post generated an avalanche of responses from Chiefs fans. Here is what they were saying on X, along with some thoughts shared on Reddit.

A fan on Reddit wrote: “3 years that’s awesome!!!!! Good job Veach!!!!”

Another shared this: “That’s crazy cheap for what he brings to the table. He likely could have made more in FA but you could tell he was super happy to be in KC this year.”

“It’s rare Veach brings in a guy on a 1 year deal and then re-sign them to a multi year deal like this,” a fan wrote on Reddit. “Drue earned it. He really impressed us all. Love this move.”

Another shared this: “Locker room seemed to love him, fans, and Spags too. Dude can do it all at LB, Spags loves having a dude like him and around $6.3 mil per year as the max is a great deal. I was thinking he could go and get $8mil per year from someone, glad he stayed.”

“Seems like a good deal for both sides!!” a Reddit user posted.

Another wrote: “This is a huge signing to be perfectly honest. He’s probably the one guy I wanted to bring back the most outside sneed/ jones.”

A fan on Reddit wrote: “Wow this is a big W for Veach. Now get Chris signed”

Another dreamed big: “A 5-peat, you say??”
