Standout left tackle shows up to voluntary workout session
After a strong NFL draft, the good vibes continued this week for the Las Vegas Raiders as there was evidence that Kolton Miller is back attending team activities.
The Athletic, via team issued content, passed along a photo showing Miller participating a session of the Raiders’ phase two offseason program at their Henderson, Nevada training facility.

ESPN reported earlier this month the standout left tackle had been skipping the voluntary offseason program because he wants a contract extension. Miller is a free agent after this season and has no guaranteed money remaining his deal. Miller, who turns 30 in October, as the Raiders’ first-round pick in 2018 and he has been an upper-level left tackle.
Miller is entering the final year of a three-year, $54 million deal in which he received a $42 million in guaranteed money. He probably will be looking for an uptick of that deal this time around. The Raiders have plenty of salary-cap room to get a new deal done.
That fact that Miller has returned to workouts is sign of good faith and perhaps it will expediate contract extensions between the two sides.
There had been speculation that the team could trade Miller but there was no indication that become close to becoming a reality during the draft last weekend. The Raiders drafted developmental tackle Charles Grant in the third round, but that doesn’t mean they want want to find a solution for Miller.
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.
