Move Jonah to LG where his shorter arms wont be an issue and he could be a mainstay for a few more years here.
Brown, Jonah, Karras, Cappa ..... not bad...
RT? I have no earthly idea, but I wouldnt cut LC, he doesnt cost any money if he isnt playing and he can absolutely back up both tackles and both guards.

Agreed. Also, remember LC has some experience at guard. We have no backup guards at the moment.
OT: Brown, J. Williams, Collins, Carman, Adeniji, Smith
OG: Cappa, Volson
C: Karras, T. Hill

Still in shock, but Jonah will have to get on board with whatever we do. If he buys into a move, I'm all for moving to LG if it helps them win a ring. Sounds like you'd go to camp in that scenario with either Carman at RT until Collins is ready, or maybe a cheap fringe RT is still sitting there in a week.

Does it matter? Jonah no wanna play another position? Duke no wanna pay 12.3M.... Jonah could be a LG for many many years. In my humble opinion.

My first thought also. Jonah should be ready by training camp, but if not Volson can fill in. JC needs to do as well at RT as he did at LT, if so he could be an upgrade over Collins. Collins once healthy could be our swing tackle/guard.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Im all for Jonah to Left Guard and it would probably be an easier transition for him than to RT.... but Bears still need a tackle and they have an extra second round pick.

I don't disagree, it could be a win/win for both parties. A lot of ifs here, but Jonah could be a stud LG and if LC is healthy, this could be a stellar line.

Well I think you try everything you can.

Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence."

But I think they are done with Collins. If he can get healthy and freaking practice it could change. Him not ever practicing was a huge sore spot. It’s a bad look.

I don’t know if Williams can anchor against 320lb Dt’s I think RT is the better spot.

Instead of experimenting with Jonah at LG or RT and spending 12.6 million to do it, I would trade Jonah if I could and use that money to get someone who is proven at RT.
Let Carman backup Brown at LT and Volson at LG. or Perhaps give Carman another shot at LG

Jonah is a better tackle than LC
Put LC at LG whenever he gets healthy and they don’t cut him

I would love nothing more than to see Volson beat out Jonah to earn the LG starting role again. Training camp will be interesting for our O-line to say the least.

Wanted to fix that for you.
It's a worthwhile experiment if Volson is truly a low-ceiling type player.

Does anyone else think signing Brown might help us land other FAs?
One never knows, but iur chances of winning it all just got significantly better (knock on wood) with Brown in the fold.
