Mayer has had an interesting tenure in Las Vegas. He was viewed as the long-term answer at tight end after being a second-round pick, but that only lasted a year after the Raiders took Brock Bowers in the first round during the following draft. On top of that, health issues have taken the Notre Dame product off the field, as he's missed at least three games each season so far in his career. With Klint Kubiak's 12 personnel-heavy offense and the fact that he's entering a contract year, it feels like it's the 'now or never' period for Mayer.

Mayer faces make-or-break contract year in Kubiak's 12-personnel scheme.

Mayer was viewed as the long-term tight end answer after being a second-round pick, but that lasted only one year after the Raiders drafted Brock Bowers in the first round the following year. Health issues have sidelined him for at least three games each season in his career. With Klint Kubiak's 12 personnel-heavy offense and Mayer entering a contract year, the source frames this as a 'now or never' period for the Notre Dame product, especially since the offense lacks wide receiver talent and needs someone to step up.
