Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton spoke with reporters on Wednesday about the recent decision to restructure his contract to help acquire a star wide receiver.
"Yeah, my agent called me a couple of days prior. Obviously, we're trying to make a move, and they need a little bit more space," said Bolton. "So, as I said, like we can bring in good players, and if our team wins the ball games, I'm all for it. But that's pretty much all it was. A couple of days of communication, just giving me a heads-up that this might happen or that this opportunity could happen, and obviously we could bring good guys into the building. I'm all for it."
The team saved nearly $3,500,000 in salary cap space after restructuring Bolton's contract, converting part
of the veteran defender's salary into a signing bonus. The deal allowed the trade to acquire Josh Downs and make sense on the books for this season.
Bolton has recorded 80 combined tackles, 39 solo tackles, 41 assisted tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 2 passes defended, and 1 forced fumble through 8 games this season.
