The new regime for the Las Vegas Raiders has proven this offseason that they are willing to pony up to keep some of the league's best players in the building. The first example of this was when they extended Maxx Crosby on a record-breaking three-year, $106.5 million deal in March.
They followed this up by extending All-Pro punter A.J. Cole on another historic deal. Ultimately, they also paid left tackle Kolton Miller $66 million over three years after initial reports indicated that he was unhappy with his contract.
Miller has been durable throughout his NFL career, but Thursday's injury to Los Angeles Chargers star left tackle Rashawn Slater was a brutal reminder that the team has to be prepared for any situation.
