Nick Bolton signed a three-year, $45 million contract to return to the Chiefs, but was the deal worth it for Kansas City?

A person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Sunday that the Kansas City Chiefs and linebacker Nick Bolton have agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract that keeps the quarterback of their defense out of free agency.

The Kansas City Chiefs keep a key component of their 2024 fourth-ranked scoring defense (19.2 points per game allowed) by re-signing inside linebacker Nick Bolton.
