2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tranquill tallied the second-highest tackle total of his career in 2024, with 94 stops (54 total), including 2.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games. He also had two pass breakups and two fumble recoveries, with his tackle total ranking second on the Chiefs behind only Nick Bolton (106). Tranquill was more productive during the playoffs, though, with 25 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, plus one forced fumble in three postseason contests. He's locked in as a starter in Kansas City's linebacker corps and boasts the three-down skill set to flirt with triple-digit tackles if healthy for all 17 games. Read Past Outlooks

Tranquill re-upped with the Chiefs on a three-year, $19 million deal this offseason following an impressive showing on a one-year contract in 2023. Tranquill concluded the campaign with 79 tackles (54 solo), a pair of forced fumbles and 4.5 sacks despite sitting out all or most of three games - Weeks 13, 14 and 18. The new deal essentially locks in his place as a key fixture in the team's linebacking unit for at least the next 2-3 seasons.
After spending his first four seasons in the league with the Chargers, Tranquill signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Chiefs via free agency this offseason. The 27-year-old linebacker recorded career highs in tackles (146) and sacks (five) while playing in all 17 games of the 2022 campaign with the Chargers. Tranquill will look to become an integral member of the Chiefs' linebacker corps as a starter in 2023.
Tranquill was a quiet producer in his rookie season in 2019, but his sophomore campaign was derailed when he broke his ankle in Week 1. The linebacker reasserted himself as a capable tackler in 2021 and should be poised to rack up even more production as the other starting inside linebacker alongside 2020 first-round pick, Kenneth Murray.
Tranquill missed almost all of the 2020 season after breaking his left ankle. The 2019 fourth-round pick is expected to compete for a pivotal depth role at linebacker.
