LAS VEGAS, NV — The Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to a three-year contract extension with standout left tackle Kolton Miller, keeping one of their most consistent and durable players in silver and black through the 2028 season.
According to Raiders Head Coach Pete Carroll, the extension is worth $30 million over three years, with $32.5 million guaranteed — a structure that includes guaranteed money from the final year of his previous deal. Miller’s new agreement will average $10 million per year, underscoring his value to the organization both on and off the field.
A Pillar of Protection
Drafted 15th overall by the Raiders in the 2018 NFL Draft, Miller has steadily developed into one of the NFL’s most reliable blindside protectors. He has started nearly every game since entering the league, becoming a foundational piece of the offensive line and a steady presence for multiple quarterbacks.
Miller’s extension signals a strong commitment by the Raiders’ front office to build stability up front, especially as they navigate uncertainty at the quarterback position. His ability to anchor the left side of the line has allowed the offense to function with greater confidence, whether the team was relying on Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo, or more recently, rookie prospects in development.
Leadership Role Expanding
Beyond his performance on the field, Miller is also emerging as a leader in the locker room. Often described by teammates and coaches as humble, hard-working, and consistent, Miller has quietly taken on a mentorship role, particularly with younger linemen and offensive rookies.
“Kolton doesn’t say much, but when he does, everyone listens,” said one Raiders coach. “He sets the tone for what it means to be a pro.”
A Clear Message from the Front Office
This move is another signal that Tom Brady’s influence as a minority owner and the leadership of head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek are focused on retaining homegrown talent and rewarding professionalism. By securing Miller’s services through 2028, the Raiders are clearly laying down a foundation for sustained success.
With other roster decisions looming — particularly at quarterback and receiver — this deal brings early clarity to one of the most important positions on the field.
Contract Summary: Kolton Miller (2025–2028)
