Raiders Re-Sign Curtis Bolton

The Las Vegas Raiders continue their efforts of bringing back many of their own free agents.

The team announced Saturday that it has re-signed linebacker Curtis Bolton to a one-year deal. Bolton joined the Raiders in August of 2022 and appeared in eight games for the Raiders, posting five total tackles. The details of the contract have not yet been reported.

Bolton was undrafted out of Oklahoma in 2019 and signed with the Green Bay Packers, spending time there before making other stops around the league with the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco 49ers, and Detroit Lions.

Bolton made his season debut in week five against the Kansas City Chiefs after spending the first four weeks of the season on the practice squad. It was only his second ever time on an active NFL roster. He made one tackle in the Raiders' loss. He also made one tackle in each of the Raiders' games against the Colts, Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams, and the New England Patriots.

Bolton is one of nine players the Raiders have re-signed and is the first of their linebacking corps to be brought back. He joins recently signed Robert Spillane as one of two linebackers the Raiders have signed during this free agency period.

The Raiders needed to add depth at the linebacker position and Curtis Bolton provides that, as well as an able body on special teams. General Manager Dave Ziegler has made it a priority to bring back the team’s own free agents, and continues that trend with bringing back Bolton.

The NFL Draft will occur at Union Station in Kansas City, Mo., from Thursday, April 27 to Saturday, April 29. ESPN, ABC, and NFL Network will broadcast all seven rounds.

The 2023 NFL Year and Free Agency period begins at 4 p.m. EDT on March 15. The Raiders are expected to be significant players in the free-agent market this season.
