Silver And Black Pride on Michael Mayer

Mayer promoted to TE1 with $45M deal; must produce in Bowers' absence.

Ascending to TE1 with Bowers sidelined; signed three-year, $45 million contract extension before the injury news. Brock Bowers states Mayer must now hold up his end of the bargain and produce, with a perfect opportunity to prove himself with the starter on the depth chart out. However, Brock Bowers does not expect Mayer to replicate Bowers' unicorn skill set; Mayer is taller, thicker, and more physical, while Bowers is lighter, more agile, and a superior separator. Mayer will likely be used more in-line rather than split wide, but should benefit from increased target opportunities as the passing game redistributes without Bowers.
