The Chiefs have some major decisions to make after the failed three-peat chase. One of them involves a decision about LB Nick Bolton, who is an impending free agent. Bolton has been a major defensive weapon for the Chiefs. KC picked him up in 2021, signing a $5.84 million deal with him. Now that he has hit free agency, will the Chiefs just let him go? Well, a popular account ML Football posted on X that “Nick Bolton is projected to sign a 4-YEAR, $60 MILLION CONTRACT extension.“

On the other hand, the Chiefs just cut seven players from the bottom of their roster. It’s the usual post-Super Bowl cleanup, but it’s a reminder that every dollar counts. With Bolton’s extension on the table, the front office has to balance keeping their star players while managing the cap.
This is a developing story…
