2026 NFL Free Agent Rankings: Interior offensive linemen

Free agency is here, and teams around the NFL are searching for upgrades across every position. Here are PFF’s position rankings for the 2026 free-agent class, and you can track every move — including grades, snap counts and contract details — on our live free agency tracker at https://www.pff.com/nfl/free-agency.

1. Tyler Linderbaum, Baltimore Ravens

Snaps: 3,277 | PFF grade: 86.9

Linderbaum ranked as the fifth-highest graded center in the NFL in 2025 and has improved his PFF grade in every season since entering the league, all while heading toward free agency at just 25 years old. While he remains imperfect in pass protection, he has earned PFF pass-blocking grades above 60.0 in three consecutive seasons. He is among the league's best run blockers, however, having posted a PFF run-blocking grade above 80.0 in three of his four NFL seasons.

2. Isaac Seumalo, Pittsburgh Steelers

Snaps: 2,803 | PFF grade: 74.9

Seumalo has been one of the most consistent offensive linemen over the past four seasons, posting PFF grades between 66.3 and 73.9 during that span. This past season, he ranked seventh among guards in PFF pass-blocking grade (76.4) and 27th in run-blocking grade (67.1).

3. David Edwards, Buffalo Bills

Snaps: 2,550 | PFF grade: 73.7

Edwards logged a career-high 75.0 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2025 and played 1,000-plus snaps for the second year in a row. The 28-year-old was a sturdy left guard for quarterback Josh Allen over the past two years.

4. Alijah Vera-Tucker, New York Jets

Snaps: 1,166 | PFF grade: 79.2

A torn triceps closed the curtains on Vera-Tucker's 2025 campaign before it began — the third season-ending injury of his young career. He has still established himself as a promising guard, earning three straight season-long 70.0-plus PFF overall grades and allowing the fourth-lowest pressure rate (2.8%) among guards in 2024.

5. Joel Bitonio, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 3,366 | PFF grade: 69.9

The Browns' offensive line struggled this season, but Bitonio was not the reason. The 12-year veteran remained solid in pass protection, allowing just two sacks across 686 pass-blocking snaps and earning a 75.7 PFF pass-blocking grade. While the 34-year-old's future is uncertain, he would still represent a meaningful upgrade to the interior protection of many offensive lines across the league.

6. Kevin Zeitler, Tennessee Titans

Snaps: 3,057 | PFF grade: 81.4

After playing like one of the NFL's top guards in 2024, Zeitler proved to be a shrewd signing for the Titans in 2025. The 35-year-old earned a 74.5 PFF grade, including a 75.4 PFF pass-blocking grade. Having posted an overall PFF grade of at least 71.5 in five consecutive seasons, Zeitler remains one of the league's more reliable right guards.

7. Greg Van Roten, New York Giants

Snaps: 3,297 | PFF grade: 70.8

Van Roten brings versatility to the market, having logged at least 1,750 snaps at both left and right guard along with 306 at center. With the Giants in 2025, the 35-year-old earned a 70.1 PFF pass-blocking grade and posted a pass-blocking efficiency score of 97.7. At this stage of his career, Van Roten profiles as a reliable interior offensive line depth option.

8. Dalton Risner, Cincinnati Bengals

Snaps: 2,123 | PFF grade: 67.3

A regular short-term pickup by teams since leaving the Denver Broncos back in 2022, Risner simply shows up and produces in pass protection. He has yet to have a season where his PFF pass-blocking grade has fallen below 65.0, and his 71.5 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2025 ranked 18th among all guards.

9. Connor McGovern, Buffalo Bills

Snaps: 3,608 | PFF grade: 66.6

McGovern's 69.1 PFF overall grade in 2025 ranked 13th among centers. He has been one of the better interior pass blockers across the NFL and brings some positional versatility, with strong performances at both center and guard in his career so far.

10. Tyler Biadasz, Washington Commanders

Snaps: 3,243 | PFF grade: 70.5

Biadasz was solid during his two-year stint with Washington, earning a 69.1 PFF overall grade. In 2025, his 67.1 PFF pass-blocking grade ranked in the 60th percentile among centers, while his 71.2 PFF run-blocking grade marked a career high.

11. Dylan Parham, Las Vegas Raiders

Snaps: 2,767 | PFF grade: 67.8

A four-year starter with the Raiders, Parham might not be a Pro Bowl-caliber player, but he's a capable starter on the offensive line. He's still only 26 years old, so there is some upside. At worst, he's a solid floor player who would improve a weak link on multiple offensive lines around the league.

12. Ed Ingram, Houston Texans

Snaps: 2,610 | PFF grade: 65.9

The Texans' offensive line made noticeable strides in 2025, and Ingram had a big say in that. The former Viking enjoyed the best year of his career with a 73.8 overall PFF grade and a 79.9 PFF run-blocking grade. While he still has work to do in pass protection — never reaching a 61.0 PFF pass-blocking grade — his work in the run game should be desirable.

13. Wyatt Teller, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 2,904 | PFF grade: 69.5

Teller is another member of the Browns' aging offensive line on an expiring contract. His performance has dived a bit over the last two years with a 64.1 overall PFF grade and 51 pressures given up. Also, his PFF run-blocking grade has dropped to below 66.0 in both of the last two seasons. The 31-year-old is also coming off a season-ending calf injury suffered late in 2025.

14. John Simpson, New York Jets

Snaps: 3,276 | PFF grade: 65.3

Simpson flashed in a huge way with the Jets in 2024 but couldn't follow it up, posting a 56.9 overall PFF grade in 2025. His run-blocking experienced the most dramatic decline, with his PFF run-blocking grade falling over 20 points and his impact block rate sliding over 10%. With five of his six career campaigns ending below a 60.0 overall grade, teams will have to determine how replicable his best season is as he searches for a new home.

15. Andre James, Los Angeles Chargers

Snaps: 1,749 | PFF grade: 66.5

James stayed in the AFC West with the Raiders, although he played just 84 total snaps in 2025 — which resulted in a 46.6 overall PFF grade. With the Chargers in 2024, James was effective in pass protection by allowing two sacks on a 97.7 pass-blocking efficiency grade, but his PFF run-blocking grade sat at just 50.2 that year. The 28-year-old will look to right the ship next season as he seeks to play like his 2023 self.

16. Zion Johnson, Los Angeles Chargers

Snaps: 3,239 | PFF grade: 60.5

A 2022 first-round pick, Johnson never reached the heights he was expected to achieve in Los Angeles. The former Boston College Eagle produced a 61.5 overall PFF grade across his four years with the Chargers, allowing at least four sacks in every one. The 26-year-old will hope to better translate his talents in 2026, potentially on a short-term deal.

17. Daniel Faalele, Baltimore Ravens

Snaps: 2,442 | PFF grade: 58.5

Even at a hulking 6-foot-8, Faalele briskly stepped into a starting guard role for the Ravens. However, that transition was a steep learning curve for the former fourth-round pick, who received a 57.5 overall PFF grade over the last four campaigns. Faalele's massive frame will almost certainly warrant a flier, but he's yet to marry his traits and production at the pro level.

18. Ethan Pocic, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 2,969 | PFF grade: 69.2

While Pocic was a stout center for the Browns from 2022-23, his performance waned from 2024-25 with a 65.2 overall PFF grade. At the same time, Pocic's 42 pressures given up are tied for the seventh-fewest among qualified centers. Having played over 800 snaps in each of the last four years, the 30-year-old Pocic could be a veteran center addition for teams seeking a starter.

19. Teven Jenkins, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 1,793 | PFF grade: 79.0

Although Jenkins played just 324 snaps with the Browns, he impressed with a 77.7 overall PFF grade that was buoyed by a 79.1 PFF run-blocking mark. On-field ability has rarely been in question with Jenkins, sitting above a 72.5 overall grade in each of the last four years, but he's played only 2,369 snaps in that span. Turning 28 before the new league year, Jenkins could attract teams who want to take a swing on his talent.

20. Dillon Radunz, Tennessee Titans

Snaps: 2,376 | PFF grade: 62.1

Radunz's lone season with the Saints was suboptimal, as he recorded a 48.5 overall PFF grade that ranked 59th out of 61 qualified guards. Although his run-blocking was poor, Radunz was solid in pass protection with a 64.3 PFF pass-blocking grade while giving up just one sack. The former second-round pick could net a cheap deal due to his pro experience at four offensive line slots.

21. Graham Glasgow, Detroit Lions

Snaps: 3,284 | PFF grade: 65.8

Once a key piece of Detroit's offensive line, Glasgow has taken a step back over the past two seasons. Since 2024, he has produced a 57.5 PFF overall grade, with both his pass- and run-blocking grades falling below 58.0. While the 33-year-old still offers valuable experience at both guard spots and center, he now profiles more as a short-term starter or depth option.

22. Cade Mays, Carolina Panthers

Snaps: 1,722 | PFF grade: 66.7

Mays had his number called in 2025, playing a career-high 793 snaps at center for the Panthers. He was solid as a pass-blocker with a 67.6 PFF pass-blocking grade, and he hasn't allowed a sack in either of the last two seasons. However, he placed in the 20th percentile of negatively-graded run-blocking plays last season. The 26-year-old profiles as a versatile lineman who could be unlocked in future years.

23. Andrew Wylie, Washington Commanders

Snaps: 2,454 | PFF grade: 64.1

Wylie's Commanders tenure started well in 2023, but his play has since plummeted. Over the last two years, Wylie has garnered a 59.1 overall PFF grade with a 48.8 PFF run-blocking mark. Yet Wylie has been better in pass protection, allowing one sack and just six quarterback hits over the last two years. The 31-year-old has seen over 2,250 snaps at right guard and tackle, but his issues in the run game may be tough to overcome.

24. Daniel Brunskill, Miami Dolphins

Snaps: 1,628 | PFF grade: 62.0

After two years of starting in Tennessee, Brunskill was a backup in Miami in 2025. He appeared on 176 offensive snaps but underwhelmed with a 60.6 overall PFF grade, allowing three pressures on 49 pass-blocking opportunities. The 32-year-old has suited up at all five offensive line spots, but he's expected to be another depth piece in 2026.

25. Chris Paul, Washington Commanders

Snaps: 1,394 | PFF grade: 45.6

Paul earned his first starting opportunity in 2025, and it came with mixed results. On one hand, he dominated in pass protection with a 78.2 PFF pass-blocking grade, giving up just 17 pressures and two sacks on 485 opportunities. But on the other, he was a liability in the run game with a 23rd-percentile negatively-graded run-blocking figure. Still only 27, Paul's work in pass pro should offer another full-time gig with the chance to develop further in the ground game.
