Breaking News: Kolton Miller Signs Permanent Deal with the Raiders After Head Coach Pete Carroll’s Announcement — ESPN Reports
Las Vegas, NV – April 13, 2025
In a major move to solidify their offensive line for the long haul, the Las Vegas Raiders have officially signed veteran left tackle Kolton Miller to a permanent contract extension, according to ESPN. The announcement was made earlier today by newly appointed head coach Pete Carroll, signaling the franchise’s continued commitment to building a dominant, stable front.
Miller, a first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, has been a consistent presence and leader on the Raiders’ offensive line for several seasons. Known for his durability, technique, and ability to protect the quarterback’s blindside, Miller has quietly become one of the league’s more dependable tackles.
At a press conference held at the team’s facility, Coach Carroll expressed his excitement about keeping Miller in Las Vegas long-term:
“Kolton is everything you want in a foundational player—smart, tough, consistent, and a true pro. Securing him with this deal was a priority, and we’re fired up to keep him here as we build something special.”
While the financial terms of the deal have not yet been publicly released, sources indicate the extension is multi-year and highly lucrative, making Miller one of the top-paid offensive linemen in the AFC. The contract reflects the organization’s trust in his leadership and performance, especially as the team transitions into a new era under Carroll’s leadership.
Miller, who has started nearly every game since entering the league, has earned praise not just for his play on the field, but also for his work ethic and locker room presence. Reacting to the news, he posted on social media:
“Grateful. Locked in. Let’s bring greatness to Raider Nation. The mission continues.”
Fans have responded with overwhelming support, seeing the extension as a smart and necessary move as the Raiders look to establish continuity and toughness in the trenches. With a developing young core and an experienced coach at the helm, Kolton Miller’s deal marks another important piece in the Raiders’ long-term vision.
As the 2025 season approaches, the message is loud and clear: The Raiders are building from the ground up—and Kolton Miller is at the foundation.
