Vic Tafur and Tashan Reed of The Athletic report that the Raiders are shopping TE Michael Mayer and have had discussions with teams interested in the former second-round pick.

Mayer missed six games last season due to personal reasons and fell into a different role following the ascent of TE Brock Bowers, who was selected in the first round by Las Vegas just one season after they selected Mayer.

Mayer, 23, is a former second-round pick by the Raiders in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame. He was named Third-Team All-ACC in 2020 and Third-Team All-American in 2021. He is the all-time leader in receptions among tight ends at Notre Dame.

He’s entering the third year of a four-year, $9,313,646 rookie contract, including a $3,773,561 signing bonus. 

In 2024, Mayer appeared in 11 games for the Raiders and recorded 21 receptions for 156 yards and no touchdowns.

We will have more news on Mayer as it becomes available.
