2023 Fantasy Outlook
Linsley played in just 14 games last year, missing time due to a knee injury, concussion and a bad bout of food poisoning. Given the knee injury occurred in the first month of the 2022 season, it's fair to assume the veteran center never fully recovered and as a result, he was unable to match his Pro-Bowl level from the previous two campaigns. Provided everyone is healthy, Linsley anchors what figures to be an underrated top-tier offensive line led by two first-round picks, left tackle Rashawn Slater and guard Zion Johnson.

Restructures contract
Linsley (illness) restructured his contract with the Chargers on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The restructuring of Linsley's contract lowers his base salary from $11.5 million to the minimum for the 2024 season. The veteran has been mulling retirement, so this move creates $10.29 million in cap space if he retires after June 1, and the team could then spread the resulting dead cap hit out over two years.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to retire
Linsley indicated Monday that he is "99 percent" likely to retire this offseason, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old center spent most of the 2023 season on the reserve/non-football illness list with the Chargers due to a heart condition that now seems as though it will end his career prematurely. Linsley made his second All-Pro team in 2021, his first season with the Chargers, and spending the prior seven years in Green Bay.

In his first season as a Charger, Linsley rejuvenated the Chargers' offensive line and ultimately earned second-team All-Pro honors and his first Pro-Bowl selection. The eighth-year center played 84 percent of the teams' snaps last year and helped solidify the left side of the line which quietly appears to be one of the better in the entire NFL entering 2022.
