Sources: Four-time Pro Bowl tackle and Super Bowl champ Orlando Brown Jr. is finalizing a four-year, $64.092 million front-loaded deal with the #Bengals that includes an over $31M signing bonus — largest ever for an o-lineman.



Not sold that he is a top LT.
We will see.
Maybe not official yet, but sounds like it will be

He can't be worse than Jonah Williams.

Every time I watch Bengals games, Williams is getting best like a drum. He isn't an OT. He seems more like a G. He can't play in space.
Brown is a top level, consistent LT...

It's like a couple morons on the site question that he is a good LT and then others just assume he isn't good and jump on the train. Is he an Andrew Thomas level LT? No, but not many are. But he is consistently a very good LT every single year, year in and year out.
Thomas and Lawrence

are both elite players at their position. Joe needs to keep that in mind moving forward. Gettleman got a lot of picks right something we are not used to here.
Good to see them committed to getting Burrow protected

Williams has not panned out, but Karas, Cappa, Collins...they are trying.
Thomas is a better Tackle than Brown  
JoeyBigBlue : 3/16/2023 11:07 am : link
Yet Brown has made 4 Pro Bowls and Thomas hasn’t made 1.
Brown isn't close to top 10 LT  
ZogZerg : 3/16/2023 11:13 am : link
Which is my definition of "Top tackle".

To each their own.

their emotions about a giant or comparing.... to have an intelligent discussion.

the bengals are an OL away from a SB. they have a top 3 QB and top 3 WR group. their OL was tragic. this signing is massive for them- and puts them as a SB favorite given it was the one spot they were awful at--- they also have injured OL coming back so this helps with that as well.

good signing for a team 1 player away--- bad signing if the team were just spending to be compeitive.

Agree, good signing by the Bengals. Certainly and improvement to what they had.

I am sure Joe is well aware of this.

This may be the biggest move of the offseason to date. And a big setback for KC.

Vwry good point.

good for him. after all the crap he got before, during, and after the draft I'm glad he proved people wrong.

They already have his replacement in house

Offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor reached an agreement on a four-year, $80 million deal -- including $60 million guaranteed -- with the Kansas City Chiefs, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

Taylor is switching sides, not just switching teams. (That sounds dirty.). Risky move.

He was picked right after DG picked DeAndre Baker. Jawaan makes me cringe inside every time I see his name in writing.
