Las Vegas Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller is reportedly seeking a new contract. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Miller is not participating in the team’s current voluntary offseason workouts as he pursues that new deal. Because these workouts are voluntary, Miller is not subject to fines for his absence. The team’s only mandatory offseason work is a minicamp scheduled for June 10-12.

Miller is currently in the final year of his existing contract. He is set to earn a salary of over $12.25 million, in addition to a $50,000 workout bonus. He is currently the 13th highest compensated left tackle in the league, averaging 18 million per year on his current contract. Jake Matthews, who is three years older than Miller, and the Atlanta Falcons recently signed an extension worth $22.5 million per year
Miller joined the Raiders as a first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and has been a consistent presence on the offensive line, starting 107 of the 114 games he has played for the team.
A first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the UCLA Bruins product has developed into one of the league’s better tackles in recent years. While he has not been selected for a Pro Bowl or earned First-Team All-Pro honors, he finished the 2024 season with an 80.6 PFF grade, the 13th-best mark among 81 eligible players.
The Raiders currently have about $42.2 million in cap space to work with for this season, keeping in mind they must use a significant chunk of that to sign their draft class, which will, barring a trade back, cost the team about $30 million over 4 years.
