Bolton is very replaceable. We actually lost Bolton for half the year in 2023 and the defense didn’t fall apart. Tranquill did a fine job filling his spot.
Bolton is slow, he’s a liability in coverage and he’s not worth anywhere near what he’s asking for.
Also the “running game was shit this year” argument is bizarre. You’re telling me 29 year old Kareem Hunt who was as explosive as Derrick Nnadi didn’t have explosive runs? He was washed. There was no explosion there anymore. And of course Pacheco wasn’t this year bc he broke his leg. He wasn’t the same after that injury.
Just last year the running game was not this major problem. It was fine. Pacheco had many explosive runs and 4.6 YPC.

You think giving Trey north of 20 million for subpar play, is better than giving Bolton 15 million who’s the green dot? All while having about 3-4 drafted OL as backup players on rookie contracts?
You make no sense man.
