2025 Fantasy Outlook
Linderbaum enters his fourth year as one of the best centers in football. He has played in all but two games since being drafted in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $13.24 million contract with the Ravens in June of 2022. Ravens declined $23.4 million team option for 2026 in April of 2025.
Fifth-year option declined
The Ravens won't exercise Linderbaum's fifth-year option, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
According to Hensley, Baltimore's decision to decline Linderbaum's fifth-year option is purely financial and not performance-based. If the option had been exercised, the 2022 first-round pick out of Iowa would have earned $23.4 million in 2026, which is $5.4 million more than the NFL's highest-paid center. Linderbaum has been one of the league's best offensive linemen over the past two seasons, making consecutive Pro Bowls and starting 32 regular-season games. Expect the Ravens to pursue an extension in the near future rather than letting Linderbaum walk following the 2025 season.

Hoping to return to Baltimore
Linderbaum indicated Monday that he "absolutely" would like to remain a Raven, Ryan Mink of the team's website reports.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore's starting center will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and while there was talk over the summer of the two sides working out an extension, no deal has materialized yet. Linderbaum has started every game he's played since being drafted 25th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, missing just two games in his career due to a sprained ankle in 2023.
