## Resource

Las Vegas Raiders training camp is just 17 days away, and the tight end battle could define their season. Brock Bowers, the elite rookie, locks down the starting spot with his rare combination of blocking and receiving prowess. Michael Mayer, once a top prospect, must prove he’s healthy and productive after injury setbacks. The third spot is a fierce contest between veteran blocker Ian Thomas and rising young talent Carter Runyon—both vying for roster spots with contrasting strengths. With final cuts due August 30th, GM John Spytek faces a tough decision that could shape the Raiders’ offensive identity as they rebuild.
