The Las Vegas Raiders have secured their cornerstone left tackle, Kolton Miller, with a lucrative three-year contract extension valued at $66 million, including $42.5 million guaranteed. Miller, who has been a vital asset since being selected as the Raiders' first-round pick in 2018, was entering the final year of his previous deal. This extension solidifies his position as the longest-tenured Raider, ensuring he will protect the quarterback's blind side through the 2028 season. Previously, Miller signed a three-year extension worth $54 million in 2021, but this new deal reflects his rising stock as a premier left tackle in the league.

Miller's importance to the Raiders' success cannot be overstated. His ability to anchor the offensive line and provide stability is critical, especially as the team looks to improve on recent performances. With a solid offensive line in place, the Raiders can enhance their offensive strategies, allowing them to better utilize their skill players. As a seasoned veteran, Miller’s experience will also be invaluable for the younger linemen on the roster.
