Raiders Secure $66M Extension for Longest-Tenured Left Tackle Miller

The Las Vegas Raiders have secured a significant contract extension for their longest-tenured player, left tackle Kolton Miller, who signed a three-year deal worth $66 million with $42.5 million guaranteed. Miller, a first-round pick in 2018 and a consistent presence through multiple coaching and management changes, expressed relief and happiness at finalizing the deal, emphasizing his desire to retire as a Raider. The extension comes amid a broader effort by the Raiders' new leadership, including head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek, to stabilize the team by retaining key veterans like defensive end Maxx Crosby and quarterback Geno Smith. Miller’s performance has been highly regarded, with low quarterback pressure rates and durability, making him one of the NFL's top offensive tackles. The deal reflects a strategic commitment to building a strong, long-term core around the offensive line to protect the quarterback and anchor the run game. This move signals a more stable and competitive future for the Raiders under their current regime.
