The Washington Commanders are expected to pursue Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum if he reaches free agency, according to reports from NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Around the league, there is a belief that Washington will “heavily pursue” the three-time Pro Bowler as the team looks to strengthen the offensive line heading into the 2026 season.

The move would make sense for Washington, which recently released starting center Tyler Biadasz and now has a clear opening in the middle of the offensive line. Linderbaum, a former first-round pick out of Iowa, has started every game he’s played for the Ravens and is widely considered one of the top centers in the NFL. If Baltimore is unable to reach a new deal with him, the Commanders could make a major push to bring him to Washington and anchor the line in front of quarterback Jayden Daniels.
