This would allow Burrow to move up in the pocket. At the end of last year, you had no idea where it was coming from, other than the entire right side of the line in the KC game.
Correct Jonah was super susceptible to getting pushed back OR hit with an inside spin. The problem with those things is they compress the pocket wheras when you get beat upfield the QB can slide up and out (why teams mush rush scrambling QBs). Burrow is good enough in the pocket that if all pressure was forced wide he could do damage if the inside holds up.

Brown’s agent, Michael Portner, confirmed the deal.
Saw this last night but wasn't able to comment until now. Pretty sweet move that I don't think one of us saw coming. Orlando Brown
might not be the most athletic OT and he can have an attitude, but he is a monster OT and plays with great technique. This shows all
of us that the FO is serious about protecting Burrow for the future and they know that the trenches are where you win games.
Gives us a lot of questions though, namely where is Jonah going to play or if it is even here. Do we trade him etc.
I have questions about both Carman and Collins as well with this addition, but these are only good questions. Fantastic move.

They offered him a 6 yr- 139m deal with a 30m signing bonus in July.

Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

Kind of weird in a league that needs lineman thar more teams didn't want Brown. Also, the Chiefs paid his replacement much more.
I don't get it.

IDK if it is accurate or not, but spotrac has Brown's cap hit this year at $10.3 mil. $16.4 in 2024. $15.3 in '25. $22 mil in '26.

Im certain the reason we got Brown for much less than what K.C. originally offered is because Brown was mad at K.C. for trying to move him to RT then signing a guy like Jawaan Taylor to a massive contract then K.C. telling everyone Taylor was going to be the new LT when they were negotiating to bring Brown back. I think Brown was pi$$3d and said Im going to show K.C. so he turned around and signed with the one team that has beat K.C. several times already. I really think he was angry at the K.C. organization and wanted to stick it to them.

Or the market didn’t agree with his 23m/year.
Seems like our gain. Even if he is “only” a top 12 LT, what an upgrade.
Our boy Jonah has struggled the last 2 years.

Ravens traded him. Steelers were apparently in on him this time, wonder if they where trying to move him to RT as well? And his Dad played for the Ravens and Browns.
Only fitting he comes to win with the Bengals to get all 4 AFC North teams in the family story. Lot of motivation going on it sounds like. And he seems like a good guy to have in the locker room.

It just occurred to me that 3/5 of our OL are former Super Bowl champions.
