The Las Vegas Raiders have extended tight end Michael Mayer for three years at $45 million with $30 million guaranteed, making him one of the highest-paid at the position and setting him up for expanded duties as Brock Bowers deals with a knee issue that will sideline him early. The move comes alongside ongoing concerns about Bowers’ durability, with Mayer expected to step in for Week 1 and serve as a key security blanket for the Raiders’ developing offense.
