"After that, as the Commanders were seen by many as the favorite to land [Tyler] Linderbaum, I started hearing Washington was kicking tires on guys such as Lloyd Cushenberry III, whom the Titans let go. Everyone felt like the market would go wild. And it did."
"Linderbaum has reportedly agreed to terms on a three-year, $81 million deal, including a $20 million signing bonus and $80 million in guaranteed money. This sets a new bar for the center market, forcing the Commanders to turn their attention elsewhere."
"Cushenberry is looking for alternative employment after being released by the Tennessee Titans. He's experienced, though his production was up and down last season. However, he's got proven production in zone-blocking concepts, which is what new offensive coordinator David Blough might be looking for."
The Washington Commanders were positioned to sign free-agent center Tyler Linderbaum but lost him to the Las Vegas Raiders, who offered a three-year, $81 million deal with $20 million signing bonus and $80 million guaranteed money. This market-setting contract forced the Commanders to explore alternative options. NFL insider Albert Breer reported that Washington is now considering Lloyd Cushenberry III, recently released by the Tennessee Titans, as a contingency plan. Cushenberry has experience with zone-blocking concepts that align with new offensive coordinator David Blough's system. While his recent production was inconsistent, he represents one of the better remaining free-agent centers available as the Commanders seek a replacement for released center Tyler Biadasz.
