**FA center:** One of the top players available in this year's free agent cycle is Baltimore center Tyler Linderbaum. Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said this week at the NFL Scouting Combine he's made a 'market-setting' offer to the pending free agent.
Kansas City center Creed Humphrey is currently the highest paid center in the NFL at $18 million per season. That gives some Lions fans hoping the team makes a play for Linderbaum in free agency a better understanding of the financial commitment that would be involved.
**Match made in heaven:** Bears head coach Ben Johnson is very close friends with new Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing and said this about Petzing joining the Lions:
"I think he's going to blow those players away just from a knowledge standpoint, from a connection standpoint. I fully expect that offense to be clicking at a high level next year. It wouldn't surprise me one bit, and I think there's a reason why Dan (Campbell), from what I could gather, cast a wide net for the offensive coordinator job and Drew hit the right notes in terms of what he was looking for. I could see this being a great fit knowing Dan and knowing Drew both. I think it's probably a match made in heaven."
