Raiders Give Tight End Michael Mayer $45 Million Extension, Sources Say
Mayer signs a three-year deal as he steps in for injured starter Brock Bowers to begin the regular season, according to ESPN sources.
The Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract extension with tight end Michael Mayer, according to sources cited by ESPN.
The extension comes as Mayer is set to take on a larger role at the start of the regular season, filling in for starting tight end Brock Bowers, who is sidelined by injury.
Mayer, a former third-round draft pick, has been a rotational piece in the Raiders' offense. With Bowers unavailable to begin the season, Mayer is expected to serve as the primary tight end option for Las Vegas.
Financial and contractual details beyond the reported three-year, $45 million figure have not been officially disclosed by the team. ESPN attributed the terms of the deal to unnamed sources familiar with the agreement.
The Raiders have not issued a public statement confirming the extension at this time.
