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.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to be tagged if no extension
Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic believes the Ravens will either extend Linderbaum or use the franchise tag on the center for the 2026 season.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore declined Linderbaum's fifth-year option earlier in the offseason, but that was because center options are grouped with tackles, so Linderbaum would have carried a cap hit of $23.4 million in 2026. Top of the market money for centers is around $18 million, and Zrebiec believes Linderbaum will get close to that from the Ravens in 2026, be it through a multi-year extension or the franchise tag after Linderbaum's rookie contract expires at the end of the 2025 season.
