The Shocking Reason Behind Ravens’ Sudden Decision to Cut Ties with Tyler Linderbaum Revealed
So, the Ravens just gave Tyler Linderbaum—a bona fide Pro Bowl center—the proverbial shove off the fifth-year cliff. Shocking? Absolutely. But maybe, just maybe, this isn’t a case of “what were they thinking?” but “what are they playing at?” Turns out, the move wasn’t about snubbing a rising star; it’s all about dollar signs and leverage. With a fifth-year option that would’ve paid Linderbaum a staggering $23.4 million next year—shattering the league’s center salary records—the Ravens are apparently betting on a longer game, one that might crown Tyler as the first-ever $20 million-a-year center. It’s a high-stakes chess match between the front office and a player with both talent and negotiation muscle at just 25. So, was this the Ravens’ financial masterstroke or a perilous gamble waiting to backfire? Let’s dive in.
