Raiders Lock In Mayer for Big Role | Las Vegas News

The Raiders just handed Michael Mayer a massive 3-year, $45M deal with $30M guaranteed — a bold statement of faith in the young tight end. With Brock Bowers sidelined, Mayer steps into the starting role for the opener against Miami, and even when Bowers returns, expect both to see heavy usage. A second-round pick from Notre Dame, Mayer has flashed elite potential with 83 catches for 788 yards and 3 TDs, despite injury setbacks and personal absences last season. Now focused and hungry, he’s laser-eyed on mastering the offense and proving his consistency — and the Raiders are betting big that he’s ready to deliver.
