The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to have some competition when it comes to re-signing guard Dylan Parham.
Parham, 26, has appeared in 64 games across four seasons with the Raiders. He’s hardly missed time on the field, appearing in 94% of the offensive snaps as a rookie in 2022, 100% in 2023, 90% in 2024, and 97% in 2025.
When it comes to building up the team, Raiders general manager John Spytek wants to build it “the right way.”
Las Vegas, currently leading the NFL in cap space with a whopping $121.7 million to spend, must focus on revamping the offensive line and make sure projected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza is set up for success from Day 1.
If part of Spytek’s plan involved attempting to bring back Parham, it won’t come easily.
Titans Expected to Have Interest in Dylan Parham During Free Agency
In response to Tyler Rowland of Locked on Titans linking Parham to the Tennessee Titans due to his connection with Titans’ offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo, ESPN reporter Turron Davenport commented, “This is a name to watch. 👀
”
Rowland responded with “25 years old. Positional versatility across all 3 IOL spots. Daboll’s offense has a lot of adjustments in the run game assignments and you need an athletic center to do the cage tags. Creative solution that allows them to still go IOL to develop in the draft imo.”
Davenport added, “It’s a name I heard mentioned in Indy.”
The Titans, who are second in the NFL in cap space at $92.7 million, are looking to upgrade at center and guard, and likely have Parham at the top of their list with his ties to Bricillo.
Daniel Popper of The Athletic has Parham projected to sign a four-year, $36 million deal ($9M APY), which shouldn’t have Las Vegas lose sleep over if they decide to try to retain him. However, a team like the Titans could pay a steeper price.
Raiders Expected to Pursue Top Free Agent Offensive Lineman
By no means is Parham an elite offensive lineman, but his durability and flexibility to play both guard spots and center will be enticing for teams across the league.
The Raiders, however, have bigger fish to reel in.
According to NBC Sports Matthew Berry, he believes the Raiders will make a strong run at Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum, who’s expected to command a $20 million plus average annual salary during free agency.
“Expect the Las Vegas Raiders to make a very strong run at the Ravens star center Tyler Linderbaum, who is going to set records with his eventual payday. He’ll have many suitors, but I’m told the Raiders, who have a ton of cap space, very much like the idea of a stud like Linderbaum lining up in front of the No. 1 overall pick if Las Vegas does, in fact, draft Fernando Mendoza.”
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport also added on March 8th that the Raiders are “still circling” around Linderbaum. But just like Parham, there will be competition for Linderbaum.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz noted that “Should he not re-sign with the Ravens, there is a belief among teams around the league that the Commanders will heavily pursue C Tyler Linderbaum in free agency, per multiple sources.”
If the Raiders do end up re-signing Parham, having him in the middle of Kolton Miller and Linderbaum should elevate his play and give Las Vegas some flexibility to address other positions of need during free agency.
However, there’s a growing sense around the league that offensive linemen will be in higher demand than usual during free agency.
