Brown’s agent, Michael Portner, confirmed the deal.
Very Welcome. Orlando Brown from the Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes loss is Burrow's gain. You can bet they aren't bringing him in to play Right Tackle. Brown is a Left Tackle and perfect to protect Burrow's blind side. It makes sense that if Bengals are going to cough up the money for Burrow long term, that you want to protect that investment. Orlando Brown is Very Welcome indeed, especially by me who as some of you know said over and over that poor blocking got Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton and Joe Burrow clobbered. Of course I did credit the blocking for improving to go to Super Bowl and AFC Championship the last 2 years. It was sad the years Bengal QBs were getting hit as the ball was snapped, a far cry from the days of Munoz and Montoya.
Not only will this move help protect Burrow, but it's a good step at having a Super Bowl Offensive Line. It's smart, because they are going to have to pay Burrow a lot, and what's the point if you don't get blockers to protect him. A very smart move by Bengals. Again, Mahomes loss will be Burrow's gain on this move. Plus better blocking will give time to go deep to Chase and others, not forced to go dink passes all game due to lack of blocking time. Plus the best defense is a good offense that can move the chains and eat clock. This is a great move for offense and defense by Bengals.
