Chiefs star projected to land $56 million deal to return to KC

Chiefs star projected to land $56 million deal to return to KC | Sporting News

The National Football League offseason officially is here.

It was a long season and the Kansas City Chiefs had a great time for the vast majority of the campaign. Kansas City made it all the way to the Super Bowl for the third straight season but this time the team wasn’t able to get over the hump. The Chiefs lost against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in Super Bowl LIX.

Now, the offseason is here and free agency is going to kick off in March. The Chiefs have some key pieces heading to free agency and it wouldn’t be shocking to see a few at least leave. Maybe the Chiefs can find a way to keep some around too.

Bleacher Report made a list of the top free agents from the Super Bowl and attempted to project potential contracts and landing spots for each. Bleacher Report predicted that the Chiefs will end up reuniting with 24-year-old linebacker Nick Bolton on a four-year, $56 million deal.

“Market Value: Four years, $56 million,” Bleacher Report said. “Nick Bolton has led the Kansas City Chiefs in total tackles during three of the four seasons he’s been with the team. The only reason he didn’t do so a fourth time was due to injury. Even with missing nine regular-season games in 2023, Bolton has still averaged 114.5 tackles per campaign. He is a former second-round pick and a defensive leader.

“‘I think we all know this about Nick: He’s got such great football instincts,’ defensive coordinator Steven Spagnuolo told reporters in September. ‘He feels things, and he studies the game, so he knows ahead of time when teams will do certain things.’ In truth, the Chiefs defense has been the strength of the team over the last two seasons, and it’s unlikely the front office will choose to lose the quarterback on that side of the ball. Potential Fit: Kansas City Chiefs.”

He’s a huge piece of the defense and is young. Hopefully, the Chiefs can find a way to bring him back to town.
