Michael Mayer Locks Down Raiders TE Spot | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Las Vegas Raiders just locked down their tight end future with a massive three-year, $45 million extension for Michael Mayer—$30M guaranteed—just in time for Week One against the Dolphins. With starter Brock Bowers sidelined, Mayer steps into the starting role and brings elite receiving skills (18-of-24, 196 yards, TD last season when Bowers was out) plus crucial blocking ability that complements their new running backs. This move also gives rookie QB Fernando Mendoza two reliable targets as the team leans on the tight end position to fill wide receiver gaps. It’s a bold move mirroring Green Bay’s recent extension of Tucker Kraft—both 2023 second-round picks now set to anchor their offenses.
