However, Kansas City must pay him a premium as he enters unrestricted free agency this summer. After signing a four year, $5,834,032 contract with the Chiefs after they picked him in the second round, Bolton will be seeking a payday as a free agent.<\/p>\n<p>According to CBS Sports&#8217; Jordan Dajani, the Rams could be the team that ends up giving him that big payday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Rams have a talented defensive front with Braden Fiske, Jared Verse, Byron Young etc,&#8221; wrote Dajani. &#8220;Now, they need a veteran inside backer to fly around at the second level. That&#8217;s Nick Bolton. He&#8217;s averaged over eight tackles per game over 57 contests, recorded a career-high three sacks in 2024 and even made a case for Super Bowl MVP a couple years ago when he had a scoop-and-score vs. the Eagles. Bolton&#8217;s talent and leadership is needed in L.A.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Spotrac, Bolton is projected to sign a deal worth almost $50 million over four years this offseason. The Chiefs only have $11.5 million in cap space, making it extremely difficult for them to re-sign Bolton and keep the rest of their roster together.<\/p>\n<p>The Rams secured a postseason berth last season and made it into the divisional round before falling to the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that showed them how desperately they need an upgrade at linebacker. Bolton figures to be a perfect fit if the Rams can convince him to sign.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the NFL offseason approaches, teams are starting to do research on who they want to target in free agency.
