Head Coach Jesse Minter also said at the Combine that the Ravens would love to have Linderbaum return.<\/p>\n

“I think he’s the best center in the league. I think he’s one of the best interior linemen in the league,” Minter said. “[A] major part of the team here. Somebody we’d love to have back… I think he knows how we feel about him and that we’d love to have him back. I think he’s a major piece of our offense. I think he fits really well in the direction that our offense is headed.”<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Creed Humphrey, who signed a four-year deal worth $72 million ($18 million per year) in 2024, is currently the league’s highest-paid center.<\/p>\n

DeCosta added that the Ravens will “probably not” use the franchise or transition tags on Linderbaum. The franchise tag for offensive linemen is projected to be just shy of $28 million in 2026, per OvertheCap.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Linderbaum said last month that he would \u201cabsolutely\u201d like to stay with the Ravens<\/a>. However, he’s also one of the league’s top pending free agents and is expected to draw significant interest if he hits the open market.<\/p>\n

NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah said during his pre-NFL Scouting Combine conference call with the media that he expects plenty of suitors in the Linderbaum sweepstakes.<\/p>\n

“I love my job, but if I could switch jobs for just the next couple of months, I would want to be Tyler Linderbaum’s agent, because everybody that I’ve talked to seems to be in on Tyler Linderbaum,” Jeremiah said. “It sounds like he’s going to have a robust market, so congratulations to him and his family.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Head Coach Jesse Minter also said at the Combine that the Ravens would love to have Linderbaum return.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[223796,257,2593,17263,34879,99,36492],"class_list":{"0":"post-488615","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-combine","9":"tag-general","10":"tag-homepage-latest-headlines","11":"tag-inline-news","12":"tag-justin-robertson","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-tyler-linderbaum"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
