The Las Vegas Raiders are evaluating tight end prospects as part of their 2027 summer scouting efforts. With Michael Mayer expected to become a free agent, the team is considering alternatives, including Oregon's Jamari Johnson, Temple's Peter Clarke, Georgia Tech's Chris Corbo, and Iowa's DJ Vonnahme.
