During the offseason, rumors swirled around the possibility of the Las Vegas Raiders moving on from tight end Michael Mayer.
Despite the buzz coming from Mayer during the 2023 Draft, he has never fully lived up to expectations after being drafted by the Raiders in the second round. The emergence of Brock Bowers last season all but knocked Mayer down the depth chart, and analysts decided that Mayer might have to leave to realize his potential. However, for a number of reasons, Mayer remains on the Raiders roster, with the coaching staff suggesting that they have a plan in place for him.
