2024 Player Outlook
In many cases, the rookie year for Michael Mayer would have been considered a good one. He split snaps with veteran Austin Hooper early on but eventually took over as the primary tight end. But the nightmare situation occurred with the Raiders drafting Brock Bowers, arguably the best pass catching tight end prospect of all time. The only argument for Mayer in the short term is that maybe Bowers will be a bust or he will play WR exclusively but, with Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers on board, that would leave a tough path to upside for Mayer.
