Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Free agent center Tyler Linderbaum is heading to Las Vegas to make some money after talks with the Ravens to remain in Baltimore fell through.
Linderbaum agreed to a three-year contract worth up to $81 million on Monday, according to multiple reports. This marks the first day that unrestricted free agents can negotiate with other teams. According to general manager Eric DeCosta, Linderbaum received a “market-setting” offer from the Ravens last February, but the two sides were unable to reach an agreement.
Linderbaum, 25, is the first player to change plans for the Raiders’ massive restructuring of their offensive line.
He was selected to the Pro Bowl in three of his four seasons with the Ravens. Baltimore has the opportunity to keep Linderbaum, a former first-round pick, until 2026 by exercising the five-year contract option in his contract. But DeCosta declined the option worth $23.4 million, saying the Ravens were confident a long-term deal could be done.
Injuries forced the Raiders to start combining with multiple players at all three interior offensive line positions last season.
The Raiders were expected to be very active in free agency after agreeing to trade pass rusher Maxx Crosby to the Ravens.
They reportedly re-signed cornerback Eric Stokes to a three-year, $30 million contract on Monday.
The deal prevents the Packers’ former first-round pick from hitting the open market and guarantees him $20 million.
Stokes, 27, made 16 starts in his first season with the Raiders and had 53 tackles and five passes defensed in 2025.
Stokes has been one of Las Vegas’ bright spots during a 3-14 season, limiting the quarterback’s completion percentage to 54.5% and his passer rating to 85.3.
