It included $30 million \u201cfully guaranteed at signing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While this is great news for defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and all of Chiefs Kingdom, few were more excited than superstar defensive lineman and teammate Chris Jones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s gooooooo! \ud83e\udd1f\ud83c\udffe\ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffe\u201d Jones commented on X, quoting the Bolton news.<\/p>\n<p>And according to those covering the team, there\u2019s good reason to be as pumped as Jones about Bolton\u2019s new deal.<\/p>\n<h2>Nick Bolton\u2019s Presence Within Chiefs Defense Is Invaluable to DC Steve Spagnuolo<\/h2>\n<p>One could argue that Bolton and Jones have been the two most important players on the Chiefs defense since the former entered the league as a second-round selection in 2021. And their respective influence on this unit goes well beyond the stat sheet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery player on the Chiefs defense will tell you that Nick Bolton is Steve Spagnuolo\u2019s favorite, and there is a reason,\u201d Chiefs Digest insider Matt Derrick relayed after getting wind of the reunion. \u201cThe complexity of the KC defense is completely dependent on the MIKE linebacker. If you trust in Spags, in Bolton you trust too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, A-to-Z Sports Kansas City reporter Charles Goldman stressed why this is a win-win all around for KC and their defensive team leader.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpags gets to keep his guy at MLB. Bolton gets to continue playing in an area he considers to be home. [Plus] Chiefs keep him off a 2025 free agency market where he was expected to have other suitors in the AFC West,\u201d Goldman noted.<\/p>\n<p>At age 25 tomorrow on March 10, the new contract serves as a nice early birthday present for Bolton. Entering year five of his NFL career, the linebacker has already won two Super Bowls while also forcing 6 turnovers and accumulating 458 regular season tackles (32 for a loss), 17 regular season QB hits and 15 regular season pass defenses.<\/p>\n<p>In the playoffs alone, Bolton has racked up an additional 102 total tackles (5 for a loss), 3 QB hits, 2 pass defenses and a fumble recovery for a touchdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs superstar Chris Jones reacted to teammate Nick Bolton&#8217;s massive new contract, which he signed prior to NFL free agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":41258,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
