Las Vegas, NV — AJ Cole may be a punter, but after his latest contract extension with the Las Vegas Raiders, he’s living like a franchise quarterback.
Fresh off signing a multi-year deal reportedly worth $14 million, Cole didn’t wait long before making headlines — not for a booming 70-yard punt, but for his first jaw-dropping purchase: a custom-built, matte black Lamborghini Revuelto, complete with silver Raider logos on the headrests and a license plate that reads: “PUNTGOD.”
Let that sink in.
Sources close to the team say Cole had his eye on the hypercar for months and sealed the deal within 48 hours of putting pen to paper. The car, valued at over $800,000, isn’t just fast — it’s a symbol of how far Cole has come since entering the league as an undrafted free agent.
You grind for years to get to this point. I just wanted something that reminded me every time I started the engine — it was all worth it,” Cole told reporters after Raiders OTAs
Naturally, social media went into full meltdown mode.
@NFLMemes: “Punter by day, Bruce Wayne by night. AJ Cole just became my spirit animal.”
@RaidersFan69: “Our punter drives a Lambo. Tell me the Raiders aren’t the coolest team in the league right now.”
But this isn’t just about flash. AJ Cole has quietly become one of the most reliable and respected special teams players in the NFL. With multiple Pro Bowl nods and top-5 punting stats year after year, his new deal — and his new ride — are both well-deserved.
Even head coach Antonio Pierce weighed in, chuckling:
“Hey, if he pins teams inside the 10 like he has been, he can roll up in a spaceship for all I care.”
AJ Cole’s Lamborghini might be turning heads in Vegas traffic, but it’s his consistency on the field that keeps the Raiders’ special teams elite. One thing’s for sure: whether it’s with his leg or his lifestyle, Cole knows how to make an impact.
