The first place they plan on improving is the offensive line, and they have their <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Schultz_Report\/status\/2030667958909849760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">eyes set on someone<\/a> from the AFC if he is to leave, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShould he not re-sign with the Ravens, there is a belief among teams that the Commanders will heavily pursue C Tyler Linderbaum in free agency, per multiple sources. Washington recently released their starting center Tyler Biadasz,\u201d Schultz wrote on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>The Commanders were able to save some cap space by releasing Biadasz, but they also want to improve the center position. Jayden Daniels suffered several injuries last season, and getting a stout offensive line that will protect him is going to be key.<\/p>\n<p>Linderbaum would be a nice pickup for the Commanders, but he is expected to receive atleast $20 million a year on his next deal. There are also other teams that will be interested in him if he doesn&#8217;t sign back with the Ravens, and it could turn into a bidding war to start free agency.<\/p>\n<p>Linderbaum appeared in all 17 games for the Ravens this past season and started in all of them at center. He&#8217;s definitely one of the better players at his position, which makes it no surprise that he&#8217;ll have several suitors coming for his services.<\/p>\n<p>The Commanders are looking to have a bounce-back season, and there are some other moves they could be looking to make in free agency. Running back will be a need for the team, and they <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nfl\/new-york-giants\/nfl-rumors-giants-commanders-among-teams-duking-out-kenneth-walker-iii\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly have interest in Kenneth Walker III<\/a>, \u00a0as there is a chance he could leave the Seattle Seahawks if they don&#8217;t pay him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Commanders had a down season that was filled with injuries to their key players, and they&#8217;ll&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":801094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2069],"tags":[117,427,7,6,832,855,111,2480],"class_list":{"0":"post-801093","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-commanders","8":"tag-baltimore-ravens","9":"tag-commanders","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-nfl-rumors","13":"tag-washington","14":"tag-washington-commanders","15":"tag-washingtoncommanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116195776523968701","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=801093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/801094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=801093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=801093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=801093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
