With Kolton Miller locked in with new deal, who could Raiders extend next?
The new Raiders regime may have watched quite a few free agents walk out the door this offseason. But they have also been busy trying to ensure they don't see it happen with any of their best players come next offseason. First up was Maxx Crosby, who got a three-year extension. Then it was punter AJ Cole who also got a four-year extension. And Wednesday, they may have made Kolton Miller a career Raider with a three-year extension. They shouldn't be done though. There are still a couple players who are deserving of an extension and who the team probably would rather not lose come next offseason. K Daniel Carlson Of the four players vying to be the last Oakland Raider, he is now the only one who has not signed an extension this offseason. He was a first team All Pro in 2022 and has been one of the more reliable kickers in the league since joining the Raiders midway through the 2018 season. His All Pro kick squad mate AJ Cole got his extension, so it would make a lot of sense to keep Carlson around long term as well. WR Jakobi Meyers Meyers is coming off a career-year. The Raiders could reward him now to keep him off the market next offseason or potentially further raising his value this season. He will still be just 29 years of age next offseason. He is a great teammate, who can line up in multiple places, didn't have a single drop last season, and does the dirty work that doesn't show up in the stat line. You reward that.

Raiders LT Kolton Miller signs three-year extension
The Raiders signed left tackle Kolton Miller to a contract extension Wednesday night, the team announced. The deal is three years and $66 million, with $42.5 million guaranteed, per multiple reports. Miller did not attend the start of voluntary work this offseason while seeking an extension. He didn't stay away, though, and showed up for Organized Team Activities and the mandatory minicamp while expressing a desire to be a 'Raider for life.' Miller, a first-round pick in 2018, was scheduled to earn $12.3 million in base salary in the final year of his contract. He has started 107 of 109 career games. Miller is the latest veteran to sign an extension with the team. This offseason, the Raiders signed defensive end Maxx Crosby, quarterback Geno Smith and punter AJ Cole also signed extensions.

Honda CB125 Hornet vs TVS Raider 125: Which 125cc motorcycle suits you the best
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India is ready to shake up the competitive 125cc segment with the launch of its newest entrant — the CB125 Hornet. Targeted directly at customers looking for a sports commuter, the CB125 Hornet moves into a segment dominated by the youth-oriented and feature-packed models such as the TVS Raider 125. While Honda is set to announce the pricing on August 1, the spec sheet already makes for an interesting face-off. Here's how the two motorcycles stack up on paper. The CB125 Hornet is powered by a 123.94cc air-cooled single-cylinder unit producing 11 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 11.2 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, while the TVS Raider packs a slightly larger 124.8cc engine, producing 11.4 bhp and 11.7 Nm. Honda CB125 Hornet vs TVS Raider 125: Design The Honda CB125 Hornet carries forward a sharp and muscular street-naked design with several premium cues. The standout feature is the aggressive LED face with dual DRLs and high-mounted indicators, while golden USD forks add a touch of class — a first in the segment. The tank extensions and edgy rear profile amplify its sporty intent. The TVS Raider 125, meanwhile, is no less attention-grabbing. The sporty styling of the angular bodywork (particularly the aggressive tank shrouds) is pleasing, but the standout feature for most younger consumers is the LED headlamp with integrated daytime running lights. Additionally, its more compact proportions and lower stance cater to urban riders looking for agility and style.

Honda CB125 Hornet vs TVS Raider 125: Specs The CB125 Hornet is powered by a 123.94cc air-cooled single-cylinder unit producing 11 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 11.2 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed slipper clutch transmission that aims to provide smooth and easy cruising in and around the city and on light highways. The TVS Raider packs a slightly larger 124.8cc engine, producing 11.4 bhp and 11.7 Nm. While the power difference is marginal, TVS has tuned the Raider for a zippy throttle response, which has already earned it a fan following in the segment. Honda CB125 Hornet vs TVS Raider 125: Hardware Honda has gone the extra mile with segment-first golden USD forks and a 5-step adjustable rear monoshock. Braking is handled by a 240mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum. It also rides on chunkier rear tyres compared to the Raider (110/80 vs 100/90 section), which could aid in stability. TVS Raider, in contrast, uses conventional telescopic forks and a monoshock, with a similar 240mm front disc (optional) and 130mm drum at the rear. While it skips the premium USD setup, its lower seat height (780 mm vs Hornet's 796 mm) and better ground clearance (180 mm vs 166 mm) make it more city-friendly. Also watch: Honda CB 125 Hornet Walkaround In HD + Exhaust Note 🎧🎧 Fuel tank capacity is another differentiator — the CB125 Hornet offers a 12-litre tank against the Raider's 10 litres, favouring longer commutes. Honda CB125 Hornet vs TVS Raider 125: Features The CB125 Hornet brings in Honda's RoadSync-enabled 4.2-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity, navigation assist, call alerts, and USB Type-C charging. LED lighting is standard, and Honda also throws in useful additions like a side-stand engine cut-off and an engine stop switch. The TVS Raider counters with a feature-packed TFT cluster with voice assist, call/SMS alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation. It also includes a USB charger and scores extra with its practical under-seat storage — a unique addition not seen on the Honda. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India. First Published Date:

Patriots linebacker preview: Built in the image of Mike Vrabel, this group could help the defense take a big step forward
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up By the numbers: Advertisement 13: Elliss set a career high vs. the Bills on Jan. 5, with a 13 tackles, the most of the season in a game for any Patriot. 70: Tavai is the only NFL player in the last decade to play at least 70 percent of the snaps on offense or defense and 70 percent of the snaps on special teams, which he accomplished in 2023. The skinny: After an offseason of turnover, no area of the roster provides a better example of new coach Mike Vrabel's football philosophy than the linebackers. The Patriots acquired multiple players who might best be described as Vrabel guys in Spillane, Gibbens, and Landry. All of them played for Vrabel earlier in their careers. Advertisement Of the newcomers, Spillane figures to be a central figure. The former Raider was in the middle of the action at spring practices, and he saw his playing time increase when Tavai went down with a lower-body injury. Look for Spillane to wear the green dot on his helmet this season. Landry, who has 50.5 sacks in six seasons, should provide a boost off the edge in passing situations. Gibbens should provide depth in the middle, as well as special teams value. (He played almost 40 percent of the special teams snaps for the Titans in 2024). One new face that was a bit of a surprise this spring was Chaisson, as the former Raider and Jaguar flashed positively off the edge and could evolve into a nice depth addition. As for the impact returnees, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Jennings will be part of the conversation as an edge presence on early downs. Meanwhile, Tavai (who had a career-high 115 tackles in 2024) is looking to win back the fan base Elliss has had a career renaissance the last couple of seasons, going from fringe journeyman to every-down linebacker to being the subject of a mild bidding war between the Patriots and Raiders that saw him return to New England on a two-year, $13.5 million deal. He appeared to slot in nicely next to Spillane during spring practices, another sign his role will continue to grow. Advertisement In many ways, this is a group that is made in the image of Vrabel: not splashy, but smart, tough, and versatile. If they can be half as successful as Vrabel was when he played, it should help the defense take a big step forward. How does this position rate against the rest of the league? With the additions of Landry, Spillane, and Gibbens, this group probably went from the bottom third to near the middle of the pack. Quote of note: 'This is an exciting group to be around, and I'm excited going into this season. You just look at it, and you just feel the excitement and the production you could have going out there, and knowing everybody out there has that playmaking ability.' — Landry, speaking in June about the defense. Biggest story lines: Is Landry capable of delivering a burst off the edge as a complementary player for the likes of Keion White and Christian Barmore? In his first year with the Patriots, can Spillane grow into the leadership role that's usually asked from an inside linebacker? Will there be a battle for the other inside linebacker spot opposite Spillane? Christopher Price can be reached at
