Kolton Miller Secures His Future with the Raiders: Multi-Million Dollar Extension
The Las Vegas Raiders and their starting left tackle, Kolton Miller, have reached an agreement on a three-year, $66 million contract extension, with $42.5 million guaranteed. This news marks a significant milestone for the franchise and ensures the continuity of a key player on the offensive line.
Miller, who is the player with the longest tenure on the team, was entering the final year of his contract with a salary cap impact of $15.7 million. Prior to this agreement, the player did not participate in the early stages of the team’s voluntary offseason program, seeking a contract renewal.
Finally, Miller rejoined the team and participated in the activities organized by the team (OTAs) and the mandatory minicamp.
I want to be a Raider for life. I don’t want to go anywhere else.
In June, Miller expressed his optimism about the culture that the new Raiders coach, Pete Carroll, was trying to establish in Las Vegas, stating his desire to remain with the franchise long-term.
Miller has been a consistent and reliable presence on the Raiders’ offensive line throughout his career. Selected in the first round of the 2018 draft, he has started in 107 of 109 games.
Last season, the 29-year-old player allowed the most pressures (65) and sacks (11) since his rookie season in 2018.
During the offseason, the Raiders have been focused on extending the contracts of their key veteran players. Defensive end Maxx Crosby (three years, $106.5 million), quarterback Geno Smith (two years, $75 million), and punter AJ Cole (four years, $15.8 million) have also received deals under the direction of general manager John Spytek.
