Just when things seemed to be shaping up for the Las Vegas Raiders' offensive line, which began showing signs of improvement near the end of the last year, a major concern popped up with left tackle Kolton Miller.
According to reports, Miller did not show up for the start of voluntary workouts as he seeks a new contract with Las Vegas. And, that led to a concern that if nothing gets done, Miller could hold out and/or get traded.
Thankfully, those fears were put to bed for now. According to photos shared by the Raiders, Miller is indeed in the building for voluntary workouts amid the uncertainty surrounding his contract.

The fact is, the Raiders need to get this figured out with Miller. He is a quality left tackle and Las Vegas doesn't have an adequate in-house replacement.
Miller got off to a bad start in 2024 after surrendering six sacks over his first four contests. But he was also working his way back from offseason shoulder surgery and managed to round into form as the season went on, giving up just one sack throughout the rest of the campaign.
Miller is on the final year of his $54 million contract but has no guaranteed money on it. He'll likely want that to change and will be looking for some security with a few years added to his deal
Miller is set to turn 30 in September, so he isn't exactly over the hill, and he showed he can still play at a high level. The Raiders can afford to pay him a fair multi-year deal with guaranteed money, and we ultimately believe that will happen.
