Tyler Linderbaum has reset the market for interior offensive linemen.
Linderbaum and the Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to a three-year contract worth $81 million on Monday, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The contract, which includes $60 million in guarantees, makes the 25-year-old the highest-paid interior offensive lineman in the NFL. His average salary of $27 million per year surpasses the $24 million AAV for the Dallas Cowboys guard Tyler Smith.
He instantly became one of the best players at his position in the league after being drafted in the first round of the 2022 draft.
Already a three-time Pro Bowler, Linderbaum has missed just two games over four years and was graded as the fifth-best centre in 2025 according to Pro Football Focus.
Last season, the former Baltimore Raven was charged with just two sacks allowed on 536 pass blocking snaps.
