The Las Vegas Raiders have signed former NC State punter AJ Cole to a 4-year extension worth $15.8 million, with $11 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid punter in the NFL.
After going undrafted in 2019, the Raiders signed Cole as an undrafted free agent, and he has been their starter ever since.
In the final year of his 3-year rookie contract (worth $1.757 million), Las Vegas signed Cole to a new 4-year deal worth $12 million in December 2021.
Cole was heading into the final year of that contract in 2025, set to earn $3.
