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?!?!

In Orlando Brown's new, 4-year deal with the #Bengals, he gets 67.87% of the $64.092M fully guaranteed, with $42.3M through year 2 and $49.9M through 3. By that point, he'll be ready for the next deal.

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

But, still those who are saying he's the best left tackle since Whitworth are also correct. Four consecutive probowls, when none of our other OL even have one probowl. Major upgrade at a position of need. And he's been healthy and settles the OL for four years, versus the stopgaps the Bengals used in Riley Reiff and some others.

Apparently what sold him on the Bengals was a commitment for him to play left tackle, while other teams wanted him for the right.

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

(03-16-2023, 10:09 AM)Nepa Wrote: I guess the Bengals want to have plenty of quality backups this year, after what happened last year. Cody Ford is a guard. Which means either he, or Volson, would be serving as a backup. Which would be worlds above waiver-wire pickup Scharping, who was part of the nightmarish right side of the line in the playoff game against KC.

Both times against the Ravens
And he has stated that he only wants to play LT.
I'd rather give Carman a shot at RT, if they decide to release Collins on an injury settlement.

Some interesting comments from Schefter before Brown signed in Cincinnati. https://t.co/1cASShsl5d
