The Kansas City Chiefs are re-signing linebacker Nick Bolton to a three-year, $45 million deal, per multiple reports.
The deal includes $30 million in guaranteed money and will make Bolton the fifth-highest average paid off-ball linebacker in the NFL, per Spotrac.
Bolton, 24, was a second-round pick by the Chiefs in the 2021 NFL Draft. As a rookie, he made an immediate impact with a team-leading 112 tackles to go along with 11 tackles for loss, three passes defended, and a fumble recovery.
In 2022, the linebacker elevated his game to another level, collecting a career-high 180 tackles, nine tackles for loss, two interceptions, and a forced fumble. He went on to make two fumble recoveries in the postseason, including a 36-yard fumble return touchdown during a 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
Last season, Bolton recorded 106 combined tackles, 11 tackles for loss, six passes defended, two fumble recoveries, and one interception.
Overall, Bolton has 458 tackles and four interceptions in 57 games (53 starts).
