The Ravens face a crucial decision at center position as Tyler Linderbaum's anticipated contract may exceed their budget. Among potential replacements are Buffalo Bills' Connor McGovern, considered the best available center after Linderbaum, who excels as an interior pass blocker and can play guard if needed.
Other options include Los Angeles Chargers' Andre James (62 career starts, effective in pass protection), Cleveland Browns' Ethan Pocic (nearly 3,000 snaps played), and Carolina Panthers' versatile Cade Mays (28 starts in 53 appearances). The team must act quickly during free agency to secure a suitable replacement to maintain their offensive line's effectiveness.
