Orlando Brown Jr. agreed to sign with the Bengals on the very first day free agency opened. Cappa and Karras came to agreement with the Bengals on the first day of the legal tampering period. That was a lot less nerve-wracking than after almost a week and no RT to defend Burrow or NT.
A little off topic, but I would add that those RTs still out there all have some flaws. Trent Brown, for example, is talented, but missed a lot of games with injures, sat out a game while healthy to protect his future in free agency, and apparently at one point accused the Patriots front office of running a smear campaign against him. Becton gave up 18 sacks. Not a lot that seems to be out there, and one could justify being concerned that the Bengals strategy may be to either get someone in the draft or wait for someone to be dropped after they draft their replacement.
