Tyler Linderbaum Expected to Test Market as Raiders, Commanders Lead Suitors

His camp is seeking roughly $25 million annually, pointing to a likely reset of the center pay scale.

Overview

  • The three-time Pro Bowler is set to reach free agency after no extension with Baltimore, according to multiple reports.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport says the Ravens remain in contact while the Raiders, Commanders and Titans are teams to watch, with expectations topping $20 million per year.
  • Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports the Raiders, Commanders and Browns are expected bidders and says Linderbaum’s camp is targeting about $25 million annually.
  • Washington (about $87.6 million) and Las Vegas (about $111.9 million) have the cap space to push a market-setting offer, whereas Cleveland sits near $15.8 million and may be constrained.
  • Creed Humphrey’s $18 million average is the current benchmark that Linderbaum is forecast to surpass, with recent cuts at center in Washington and Tennessee underscoring demand.
