Stalemate ends for standout left tackle
A potential ugly situation between the Las Vegas Raiders and a key foundation piece has been avoided.
Standout veteran left tackle Kolton Miller has agreed to sign a contract extension with the team.

The contract extension ends what could have been a sticky situation between the franchise and Miller, who has been a key member of the team since being drafted in the first round in 2018.
Miller made some news when he decided to skip the start voluntary offseason workouts because of his contract situation. But he worked in good faith as he attended most of the offseason and publicly said he wanted to be a “Raider for life.” Miller was entering the final season of a three-year, $54 million contract that included $42 million in guaranteed money.
Any further acrimony between Miller, who turns 30 in October, and the franchise ends with this deal and he will continue to be a key member of the offense for the foreseeable future with this new extension.
Miller started 107 games for the Raiders. He had a bounce-back season in 2024 after dealing with a shoulder injury late in the 2023 season. Now, he is poised to perhaps play out his career in the Silver and Black.
