Ravens May Let Lamar's Center Walk?
3 Mar
Summary
- Ravens face tough contract decisions after Lamar Jackson's deal.
- Tyler Linderbaum may command over $20 million annually.
- Baltimore might be priced out of keeping their Pro Bowl center.
The Baltimore Ravens are at a critical juncture, needing to resolve Lamar Jackson's contract before addressing other key players. Among these is Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum, whose fifth-year option was declined, presenting a 'pay him or let him walk' scenario. Reports indicate that Linderbaum could command offers upwards of $20 million annually, a figure that Baltimore may be unwilling to match.
This potential financial hurdle complicates the Ravens' efforts to keep Linderbaum, who is crucial for protecting Lamar Jackson and bolstering the offense. While Jackson's contract resolution could aid retention efforts, current sentiment suggests Baltimore might not be able to afford their star center. The coming weeks will be pivotal in determining Linderbaum's future with the team.
