The Las Vegas Raiders signed offensive tackle Kolton Miller to a contract extension on Thursday evening. New general manager John Spytek inked his franchise left tackle to a three-year deal worth $66 million, with $42.5 million in guarantees, according to Ian Rapoport. Miller had one year remaining on a previously signed extension, meaning he’s now under contract through 2028.
Miller’s previous extension paid him approximately $18 million per season. Once the new deal kicks in next offseason, he’ll receive an annual pay-raise that pays him an average yearly salary of $22 million. Miller is now one of the highest-paid offensive tackles in the NFL.
Rashawn Slater recently became the highest-paid tackle in the league via a new extension that pays him $28.5 million per year. Tristian Wirfs isn’t far behind at $28.1 million. Miller is now tied with Jordan Mailata as the 11th-highest paid tackle in the NFL at $22 million per year.
Rashawn Slater recently became the highest-paid tackle in the league via a new extension that pays him $28.5 million per campaign. Tristian Wirfs isn’t far behind at $28.1 million. Miller is now tied with Jordan Mailata and Zach Tom as the 10th-highest paid tackle in the NFL at $22 million per year. Tom, who got four years, $88 million from the Green Bay Packers, signed his new deal just a week ago.
Notably, Miller’s extension at $22 million doesn’t officially kick in until next offseason. Other offensive tackle contracts will be completed between now and then, meaning Miller will continue dropping down the offensive tackle salary rankings. Miller is a franchise left tackle, and the Raiders got a team-friendly deal done with him.
