Just two weeks ago, the Ravens saw Tyler Linderbaum leave Baltimore to the tune of a lucrative three-year $81 million contract with the Raiders. The 2022 first-round pick earned three Pro Bowl nods in his first four seasons, but simply priced himself off of a roster that has plenty of expensive talent at other positions.
Linderbaum’s departure added insult to injury when we consider the Ravens’ poor guard play last season. Daniel Faalele and Andrew Vorhees were both incredibly disappointing at their respective positions surrounding Lindy, yet both started all 17 games. Between Linderbaum, Faalele’s being a free agent currently (though he remains un-signed), and the poor performance of Vorhees, Baltimore was facing the possibility of having to replace three of their five offensive linemen from 2025.
