One S was expected to leave (hence the Dax pick), and the other was a bit of a surprise.

This signing should make any and all “sting” gone. FA could be closed now and the bengals are better.

That said, they will replace S, RB2 and TE before the draft and likely in the next week.

So Jonah to RT and LC cut I’d imagine?

something will have to give

What a great early morning surprise. WHO DEY !!!

[EatonFan]

Great news. Now to draft an OL in the 1st or 2nd round then a vet TE and S.

[leonardfan40]

So he was cheaper than the guy the chiefs signed who isn’t as good? How’d that work out?

They brought the cash everyone thought they didn’t have and told the league to F’ off by giving him the largest signing bonus at o-linemen has ever had

It's like a taste of watching other brothers and sisters wake up for Christmas morning and seeing the tree.

We can now draft RB, TE, and S

You really that confident in Williams excelling in a new position? I’m not confident in him or Carman. I want a RT at pick 28

Woke up this morning and logged in to find this news. Good stuff.

I can confidently say that with the Orlando Brown Jr signing the Bengals will not be going back to the wide zone offense for a 5th year in a row lol.

Well KC is moving Jewann Taylor from RT to LT. Right now I’d say it’s either a RT or TE and BPA

[Gdale_Bengal]

That left side us stacked. Unreal. My dad is jumping up and down right now. Just unreal. He’s in his 60s and never thought they would do anything like this. Who Dey!

[THE PISTONS]

This was basically the same deal that Bates signed...just more guaranteed.

So either Bates or Brown? You go Brown.

[*ochocincos*]

Ok, so this was completely unexpected.

However, this almost creates more questions than answers.

Is Brown playing LT or RT? (I thought he confirmed it will be LT)
Does Jonah move to RT?
Do they trade Jonah?
What about Collins when he's healthy?
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!?!

Yes!

We have quite the swing on these boards. For 2 days people are generally down. Then day 3+ is when we work.

Orlando Brown's performance in the Super Bowl showed off everything that he will bring to Cincy.

Elite strength in the run game, high end anchor and haymaker like punch in pass pro, and great processing to pass off stunts.

He's the best OT Cincinnati has had since Whit. pic.twitter.com/muu1CHYHJH

We need to temper expectations just a tad.

Orlando Brown is good. He's not some superstar OT.

He's in the OT8-12 range in the NFL. https://t.co/T4OhV76YGP

Just spoke to new #Bengals LT Orlando Brown Jr.: "I'm super thankful for the opportunity to carry on my father's legacy and be a left tackle. It was important to be able to play that position and play for a winning team and a winning quarterback. Who Dey!"

Could Jonah be traded for picks or a player, and use Carman until LC is ready or draft someone?  Carman had been working out at both tackle positions last season.
