Raiders Lock Up Mayer for Big Contract | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Raiders just handed tight end Michael Mayer a massive three-year, $45 million deal—$30M guaranteed—making him the highest-paid TE in NFL history on a three-year contract and the first Raiders draft pick to get an extension in four years. With Brock Bowers sidelined, Mayer is now the cornerstone of their offense under Klint Kubiak, signaling a bold long-term rebuild. His modest stats don’t match his new status, but the team sees untapped potential. This move also opens the door for other extensions, like Tre Tucker’s, and reshapes how they approach 2027 free agency.
