Not the best numbers, but the bolded tells me why they are looking at him
Quote:CINCINNATI — The Bengals are brining in veteran guard Lucas Patrick for a visit, league sources have confirmed.
Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports was the first one to report the news.
Patrick, 31, started 10 games for the Saints last season and has experience at both guard and center.
He spent the first five years of his career in Green Bay, before playing for the Bears for two years and the Saints last year.
Patrick could be a solid depth piece, but signing him to be a starter would be underwhelming—especially with the other guard talent available in free agency. He has plenty of experience and if he's coming off of the bench, it would be great for depth. Would they sign him to be a day one starter? That would be a questionable move at best.
It's worth noting that Patrick was in Green Bay with current Bengals defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery.
Cincinnati already signed two former Packers in free agency: T.J. Slaton and Oren Burks. Will Patrick be next?
He posted a 64.6 overall grade according to Pro Football Focus last season—the second mark of his career. He didn't allow a sack over the last two seasons in 893 pass blockin snaps and gave up three quarterback hits over that span according to PFF.
If the Bengals sign Patrick, he'll join an offensive line room that includes Ted Karras, Orlando Brown Jr., Amarius Mims, Cody Ford and Cordell Volson.
