We Got Linderbaum

[Attyla]

bam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jotaro]

Now get Ioane at #14 and the middle of the line is fixed (with JPJ at the other OG spot)

[DanKD]

We are paying Geno 30 million this year. Getting worked up over ab extra 7 million who is so important and such an upgrade is silly. He was the single biggest fa we could add with the most immediate benefit to our current situation.

[Xramfan]

Jesus Christ who gives a f[raiders_icon]ck about the money. It's the 2nd most important position in the game.

Boom.......and the Raiders had a wad of cash that the league mandates they have to spend anyway so it's ok to put a ton of it at the center position other wise we would be paying depth players starter money over the next few days lol

[Swagron]

Unexpected..but great move!

[NewEraX25]

The people bitching about the money are prob the same ones who were pounding the table for JPJ to be our center.

The Raiders are signing center Tyler Linderbaum, sources tell The Athletic.

The top offensive lineman on the market, Linderbaum cashes in with a three-year deal worth $81 million that includes $60 million in guarantees. Las Vegas makes a big splash.

Jeanty should be doing back flips

[BoJacksonRules]

Draft Freeling at 14, kick Glaze inside and we have our starting OLINE

[NewEraX25]

So we basically got 2 1sts and the player we wanted for Maxx.

[Goodtimes333]

Draft Ioane at 14 next to him and that’s a huge upgrade on the O-Line;

Miller Ioane Linderbaum JPJ Glaze

Nice!

Remove Glaze. From RT at least

....to be fair, back here in real life, no one was 'pounding the table' for jpj to be our center due to his injury history.

[DanKD]

We effectively traded Crosby for Lindenbaum and two firsts

[BoKnows81]

Remove Glaze

Yep. Glaze had his chance and failed miserably

[NoThanksSir]

You're absolutely right, I would have been fine with giving our 3rd yr center another shot at the job rather than setting the market & spending $8 million more per year over the #2 guy who is clearly better than him. But this is just how free agency works. Linderbaum isn't a bad player, but it remains to be seen whether he is worth that price. It all comes down to who we field to the left and right of him, and how proficient the offense is with a unit that is paying more for a center than any other team in the league. I think it's a fair criticism, but I'm still excited to see what the final product looks like.

[DanKD]

Glaze should probably be a backup guard / tackle. With better coach he is probably a fine reserve.
