"Tyler Linderbaum reached agreement Monday on a record deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, who are awarding him with a three-year, $81 million deal that includes $60 million guaranteed and makes him the highest paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history."
"Since the Ravens drafted him in the first round in 2022, Linderbaum has the second-best pass block win rate at center (96.2%), ranking only behind the Kansas City Chiefs' Creed Humphrey (97.9%). Over that same time, Linderbaum's 71.2% run block win rate ranks seventh among centers."
"Linderbaum became an unrestricted free agent because Baltimore declined to pick up his fifth-year option in April. It was a decision based on an unusually high financial commitment and not performance. His option was projected to be worth $23.4 million, which would have been $5.4 million more than the NFL's highest-paid center at the time."
Tyler Linderbaum, 25, agreed to a three-year, $81 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, establishing himself as the highest-paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history with $60 million guaranteed. The center was drafted by Baltimore in 2022 and became the first Ravens offensive lineman to earn three consecutive Pro Bowls since Marshal Yanda. Linderbaum ranks second among centers in pass block win rate at 96.2% and seventh in run block win rate at 71.2%. Last season, he contributed significantly to the Ravens' second-best rushing offense at 156.6 yards per game. Baltimore declined his fifth-year option worth $23.4 million due to financial constraints rather than performance concerns, making him an unrestricted free agent.
