Didn’t see this one coming.

Brown’s agent, Michael Portner, confirmed the deal.

So $64 million for Brown or Bates? OT is better use if that money. I did not see this coming.

Yep, addressing the biggest need on this team, two years in a row.

I’m wondering if this offsets bell leaving? I know it isn’t apples to apples, but the bengals are not willing to pissing away this next two year window before burrows cap kicks in (meaning they were always going to try and go “all in”) That was always painfully obvious.

We needed this. Now we don’t gotta draft tackle. Slide Jonah to RT if he bombs try Carman.


We can now draft RB, TE, and S

[Housh]

If Pollack makes this unit suck then he’s the problem

[BFritz21]

HUGE!!!!

I'll admit that I was scared we were going back to the ways of old and we'd use Burrow's extension as an excuse not to sign anyone, but this was our biggest weakness!

Still hoping we grab a safety or two and maybe a back, depending on who's still available, but protecting Burrow was my main concern, so this is UNREAL!

Front office....... please keep em coming!

We will get a rb, te and safety in free agency. This team might still draft those positions, but we will go into the draft with the BPA mindset. Could also go the route of drafting for the future, but good nfl vets will be here soon for those spots.

Bengals definitely playing chess. Smart use of cap space so far this offseason. Put your money in the most important positions (LT, QB)

From here filling out the team is much easier. Bengals should get a ton of praise and even more interest from FAs.

So Jonah to RT and LC cut I’d imagine?

Why would we cut LC?  He doesnt cost us anything if he doesnt play and he can back up both tackles and both guards...

That’s a true statement. No excuses at this point.

[QueenCity]

Duke Tobin with the Nuke!!!

God it's going to be fun seeing Burrow have an extra second

[jj22]

That’s a big get and certainly not like Bengals of old. I hope safety is still in the mix.

[C0de_M0nkey]

Looks like the Paycor money is flowing into the franchise.

[007BengalsFan]

Wow did not see this one coming. What a great signing

Yes,and get rid of Mixon and his $8 million salary.
