The Las Vegas Raiders and tight end Michael Mayer agree to a contract extension, multiple outlets report. The deal extends Mayer’s time with the team and is finalized just before the start of his contract year.
The Athletic and Yahoo Sports say the extension reflects the Raiders’ plan to retain Mayer despite the presence of fellow tight end Brock Bowers. Yahoo Sports also frames the timing of the agreement as coming shortly before the first game of Mayer’s contract year, suggesting the team moves to secure his role. The Athletic adds that Mayer is coming off his best season.
Yardbarker reports financial terms of three years worth $45 million, including $30 million guaranteed. Yahoo Sports similarly reports the extension as a three-year agreement but does not highlight the same figures in the provided synopsis. Across outlets, the common point is that the Raiders choose to keep Mayer and lock in his contract with an extension following a productive recent season.
