Haha And the people who shifted to talking about how Collins wasn't worth signing.
RE: Collins SIGNED! - TKUHL - 03-20-2022
I would still spend high draft picks on a OT & C to groom under these guys so we’re not in the same situation 3 years from now.
RE: Collins SIGNED! - Sled21 - 03-20-2022
I was in the Jeep and heard this on Sirius. Thought to myself, no way, all I've read for the last day and a half is how cheap and incompetent this organization is. Losers...

The dolphin fans are going to go berserk now. They really have it out for the Bengals and people hating on the Cincinnati Bengals in the city can suck it

Coincides with Burrows contract. Very smart.

Ideally yes

Finally, the forum weeping can end about the OL.
Bengals now have added OL La’el Collins, Ted Karras and Alex Cappa during free agency to help protect QB Joe Burrow. https://t.co/gZHx5SotVu

La’el Collins as the Bengals’ new right tackle is especially good news for Joe Burrow and Joe Mixon. This move extended their careers.
RE: Collins SIGNED! - Arturo Bandini - 03-20-2022
That's great news for Both Joes.

So you draft an OT this year...that contract is 5 years. So you might want to wait until next year to do that.
RE: Collins SIGNED! - NUGDUKWE - 03-20-2022
Really nice to hear. I had finally given up expecting a signing at anytime and thats when we sign. I was upset he left without a deal but I just knew we had to get a RT before the draft and this really opens that 1st RD up for us. I would've only really been upset at the front office if he would've signed with Miami for a reasonable deal. Glad its done and Who Dey!!! Now let the Gilmore watch begin.
RE: Collins SIGNED! - Au165 - 03-20-2022
This allows for a BPA, and my favorite approach trade back, for the draft. We at least have a justifiable plan at each position. Not saying we won’t look for value adds as prices continue to fall but this allows the draft to come to us.
RE: Collins SIGNED! - ezekiel23 - 03-20-2022
This OL is much improved for sure.With an OL like this,we would have won that Super Bowl.I think we all feel much better about the OL now.Now go get Tretter.(Wishful Thinking).Well,I guess we can dream.He would,in fact,be the icing on the cake.
RE: Collins SIGNED! - Dr.Z - 03-20-2022
F Yeah !!!
RE: Collins SIGNED! - BFritz21 - 03-20-2022
LOVE IT!
After having a joke of a front office for years and years, we make hell of a move!
We have to beat HEAVY favorites to have one of the top two records in the AFC!
Sign and/or draft a corner!
RE: Collins SIGNED! - Au165 - 03-20-2022
Kind of a cool side story
To punctuate the Bengals' recruiting pitch, Joe Burrow had La'El Collins over to his house on Friday night, along with Ted Karras, Alex Cappa and Hayden Hurst, and their wives/girlfriends, I'm told.

So Burrow's a pretty good closer on multiple fronts for Cincinnati.
RE: Collins SIGNED! - leonardfan40 - 03-20-2022
Sweet! Great FA if we stopped now and I still see the potential for one more decent signing and then a solid $3 mil type guy too! Draft can now truly be BPA
RE: Collins SIGNED! - CottonHill - 03-20-2022
This is a new era guys. Way too much melting down over him not signing on his visit. Trust in Joe B and company.
And as someone said above, this definitely allows for BPA at 31. Can get a difference maker there.
RE: Collins SIGNED! - CincyKid - 03-20-2022
way to go Brown family..........you have a Super Bowl QB and you must protect him.
Joey B and Joe Mixon are lovin' this signing.
AFC North is on notice..........WHO DEY !
