Las Vegas Raiders bolster O-line with Tyler Linderbaum signing

The Las Vegas Raiders addressed the NFL's worst offensive line by signing three-time Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum to a three‑year, $81 million contract—the richest deal ever for an interior lineman. General manager John Spytek highlighted Linderbaum’s leadership and consistency as key to improving protection for quarterback Geno Smith and boosting the rushing attack, which previously ranked near the bottom in yards per carry.

In addition to Linderbaum, the Raiders anticipate a significant upgrade from the return to health of left tackle Kolton Miller, who missed most of last season with an ankle injury. Both moves are intended to build chemistry among the five linemen and lay a foundation for long‑term success on the offensive front.
