Kolton Miller Projected as One of Top Free Agents for 2026
Las Vegas Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller has developed into one of the league’s premier players at his position — and as he approaches the end of his current contract, he’s being recognized as a top potential free agent for 2026.
While the Raiders have experienced plenty of turnover in recent years, Miller has been a rare constant. Since being selected in the first round of the 2018 draft, he’s brought much-needed stability to the offensive line and is now the longest-tenured player on the roster. Despite initial struggles early in his career that sparked criticism and concerns about his first-round status, Miller stayed focused, worked hard, and steadily improved into the cornerstone lineman the team had hoped for.
Now a respected veteran and leader, Miller continues to anchor a young and developing offensive line. His leadership on and off the field has been a vital part of the Raiders’ offense, and his durability has been just as impressive. According to Daniel Popper of The Athletic, Miller has missed only seven games throughout his career and has logged over 960 snaps in six of his seven seasons.
Popper ranks Miller as the 19th-best potential free agent in the 2026 class, noting that the UCLA product is entering the final year of the three-year extension he signed back in 2021. If the Raiders don’t move quickly to secure him with a new deal, they risk losing him to a strong market of suitors next offseason.
Re-signing Miller would not only lock in one of the NFL’s top left tackles, but could also help the Raiders avoid a costly bidding war down the line.
