Raiders Bet Big on Michael Mayer | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Raiders just locked up Michael Mayer with a massive 3-year, $45M extension—$30M guaranteed—making him one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league. Critics might point to his stats (800 yards, 3 TDs, missed games) but overlook the chaos he endured: four head coaches, seven OCs, and QB instability. The new staff sees something special—his blocking is elite, and they’re building around him. With Klint Kubiak’s run-heavy, two-tight-end scheme, this deal signals Vegas is all-in on Mayer as their cornerstone. It’s not just money—it’s a blueprint for their future offense.
