Astonishing Raiders Stat Emerges After Michael Mayer's Contract Extension
Michael Mayer gets $30 million guaranteed as Las Vegas adds insurance at tight end with Brock Bowers sidelined and Week 1 approaching.
- On Saturday, the Las Vegas Raiders signed tight end Michael Mayer to a three-year, $45 million extension that includes $30 million guaranteed, securing depth at the position ahead of the 2026 season.
- With star tight end Brock Bowers facing a setback, management accelerated the deal after Bowers underwent a meniscus trim Tuesday and will miss Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins.
- Mayer proved his value last season, recording 35 receptions for 328 yards while filling in for the injured Bowers. Head coach Klint Kubiak has integrated him into long-term offensive plans.
- NFL Network's Ian Rapoport noted Mayer is the first Raiders player to sign a rookie contract extension since wide receiver Hunter Renfrow did so four years ago, breaking a draft-trouble trend.
- While the team adopts a 'next-man-in' mentality, officials emphasize keeping Bowers sidelined until he is 100% healthy to prevent further meniscus damage and protect long-term roster stability.
