Brock Bowers set for contract extension eligibility with Raiders next year

Brock Bowers, tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders, will become eligible for a contract extension next offseason following his third NFL season. The Raiders are expected to pursue an extension promptly rather than opting for a fifth-year option. Recent contracts for tight ends, including Kyle Pitts' three-year, $54 million deal, suggest Bowers may secure a significantly higher figure, possibly in the $20-22 million per year range, as teams like the Jaguars and Falcons are also evaluating their tight end contracts. The upcoming contracts for other tight ends could influence Bowers' negotiations.
