We don’t mess with Joe Burrow’s protection. After a 2022 offseason already focused on strengthening the offensive line, the Bengals continue in their logic by recruiting Orlando Brown for the next 4 seasons according to NFL Media. The deal would be worth $64 million with a signing bonus of $31 million.
Still in the second half of the league in terms of conceded sacks, Cincinnati realizes the blow of this beginning of free agency, offering itself a major reinforcement at a moderate cost. The amount of the contract would only make Brown the 17th tackle in terms of salary.
Quadruple Pro Bowler, he went from right tackle to left tackle when he joined the Chiefs in 2021. Champion with Kansas City a few weeks ago, the 26-year-old therefore joins the rival defeated in the conference final. It’s also a return to AFC North for Brown after being drafted by the Ravens in 2018 and playing there for 3 seasons.
