Curtis

Bolton

Bolton made 23 appearances for the Raiders over the previous two seasons, with almost all of his snaps coming on special teams. Should he make the cut from 90 to 53 in Miami, we’re likely to see him serve in a similar capacity. The Dolphins waived quarterback Gavin Hardison in a corresponding move.

The restricted free agent linebacker has primarily contributed to special teams during his brief NFL career. He will be back with Las Vegas on an undisclosed deal after playing a career-high 10 games for the franchise in 2022. Bolton was originally signed by the Packers in 2019 as an undrafted free agent but didn’t see his first game action until the 2021 season with the Lions.

The Raiders signed linebacker Curtis Bolton in a corresponding move. Kiser went down with an apparent leg injury on Sunday, though the exact details of the injury are still unknown. Kiser was a frequent contributor on special teams for the Broncos last year, logging 81 tackles while appearing in 10 games.

Almost every linebacker who started for Oklahoma last season left for the NFL, so new blood will be relied on at the position this year. Bolton was a projected backup, but that likely meant playing time was in his future. We all know how impressive Houston’s offense is.

Bolton (6'1/220) was one of the better special teams players on the Sooners’ roster, and finishes the year with four tackles.
