## Resource

Nick Bolton is a defensive cornerstone for the Chiefs, earning a top-13 ranking despite his hefty $19.25M cap hit — a contract that could make him expendable or negotiable after this season. Praised by Coach Spagnuolo as the “defensive Mahomes” for his football IQ and run-stopping prowess, Bolton’s ceiling is capped by limited coverage speed and thin depth behind him, with Willie Gay as the likely backup. This season, he must prove he’s worth the investment — and the entire defense’s future hinges on his performance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
