Mayer is likely entering his final season with the Raiders; he is set to be a free agent after 2026. The Raiders unexpectedly drafted elite first-round tight end Brock Bowers a year after Mayer, and while both may be used together, Mayer is a backup option to Bowers at the end of the day. If Mayer does not produce much and is blocked by Bowers' presence, he may seek a move elsewhere on a modest contract; the source estimates the odds point toward him being elsewhere in 2027.

There is a strong chance Michael Mayer may be entering his final season with the Las Vegas Raiders. The tight end, who the Raiders traded up to draft in 2023, is set to be a free agent after this season... The Raiders unexpectedly drafted fellow tight end Brock Bowers in the first round a year after Mayer was drafted and Bowers is already an elite player. Yes, the Raiders will use both players together, but still Mayer is a backup option to Bowers at the end of the day.
