Report: Raiders, Linderbaum agree to 3-year, $81M deal
The Las Vegas Raiders are signing center Tyler Linderbaum to a three-year, $81-million deal that includes $60 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The 25-year-old Iowa product becomes the highest-paid interior lineman in NFL history.
The Baltimore Ravens attempted to re-sign Linderbaum in recent weeks, reportedly offering the pending free agent a lucrative new deal.
Linderbaum joins the Raiders days after they traded star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby to Baltimore for two first-round picks.
Las Vegas is projected to select quarterback Fernando Mendoza first overall in April's NFL draft. Linderbaum will anchor a Raiders offensive line that includes Kolton Miller and Jackson Powers-Johnson, who the team plans to play at guard in 2026, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
