The Raiders are looking to strengthen their offensive line with the addition of center Tyler Linderbaum and the return of left tackle Kolton Miller. Las Vegas general manager John Spytek signed Linderbaum, a three-time Pro Bowler, to a three-year, $81 million contract. Last season, the offensive line struggled significantly, allowing 64 sacks and averaging just 77.5 yards rushing per game, contributing to quarterback Geno Smith's high interception rate. With training camp underway, the coaching staff is focused on building chemistry among the linemen and improving performance ahead of the preseason.
