Las Vegas Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller has opted not to participate in the team’s voluntary workouts in hopes of landing a better contract, according to reports on Wedensday.

Miller, 29, has served as the Raiders’ starting left tackle since he was selected 15th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft out of UCLA. The 6-foot-8, 325-pound lineman has started 107 of 109 games over the last seven seasons and, per Pro Football Focus, ranked as the league’s 14th-best tackle in the 2024 season.

The #Raiders have yet to begin contract extension talks with LT Kolton Miller, per sources — which is a bit surprising. He’s in the final year of his deal making $12.3M in 2025, while the top of the OT market is more than double that.

Under new coach Pete Carroll, the Raiders began voluntary workouts April 8. Per NFL rules, veterans are not required to participate in such offseason work.

However, with the Raiders slated to host a voluntary minicamp April 21-23, Kolton Miller’s absence becomes more noticeable as new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, new quarterback Geno Smith and the rest of the offensive unit prepares for the upcoming season.

The team has a mandatory minicamp from June 10-12.

Per Spotrac, Kolton Miller signed a three-year, $54 million deal prior to the 2023 season. He’s slated to earn $12,255,998 in the final year of his deal with a $50,000 workout bonus. If Miller does not sign a new contract before the 2025 season ends, he will become an unrestricted free agent.

The Las Vegas Raiders released veteran cornerback Jack Jones on Sunday, according to multiple reports.

Las Vegas had attempted to find a trade partner for the 27-year-old, but found no teams willing to acquire him via trade.

Jones started 16 games (17 appearances) for the Raiders in 2024. He recorded three interceptions, one touchdown, 16 passes defended and 69 combined tackles in his first full season with the team.

Drafted by the New England Patriots in the fourth round (121st overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft, Jones has 136 combined tackles, seven interceptions, 27 passes defended, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and four scores over his first three seasons in the NFL.

Jones has played in 42 career games (21 starts) with the Patriots (2022-23) and the Las Vegas Radiers (2023-24). He was waived by the Pats in November 2023 and claimed by the Raiders one day later.

After being released, teams will not need to give up a compensatory pick to sign him this offseason.
