Orlando Brown Jr signs a 4-year deal for 64 million dollars with Bengals -When multiple sources confirmed late Wednesday night that the Bengals had awarded four-time Pro Bowl left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. a $31 million signing bonus to guard quarterback Joe Burrow’s blindside just a quarter after helping the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, they made a daring move to sign an elite starter for the fourth consecutive year.
The offensive line they rebuilt on the first day of free agency last year is moved under the rumoured four-year, $64.1 million contract, and the tightening salary cap is still preparing for that potential mega-extension for Burrow.
Jonah Williams, the Bengals’ current left tackle, was not going to switch to right tackle, the team said at the NFL scouting combine two weeks prior, but that was before the Bengals announced their roster.
For starters, getting a guy of that calibre is amazing, according to Whitworth. “Orlando has experience playing in two distinct systems, Baltimore and Kansas City. One involves dominating someone physically, and the other is customised for Patrick Mahomes.
He has demonstrated that he can triumph in many different contexts, and this knowledge should have a profound impact on the team. Let’s be honest. No matter what else is going on, the Bengals are difficult to beat while Joe Burrow is protected.”
After surgery for a dislocated kneecap, Williams, who counts more than $12 million against the salary limit, is expected to be ready for training camp. La’el Collins, the incumbent right tackle, is now listed as questionable for Opening Day due to an injury.

The 2023 NFL free agency period is currently in full swing, and the Kansas City Chiefs have seen some changes to their offensive line as a result.
Orlando Brown Jr.’s future with the team appeared to be sealed as news broke that right tackle Andrew Wylie would join the Washington Commanders and that former Jacksonville Jaguars lineman Jawaan Taylor would be moving to Kansas City.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Brown receives a fully guaranteed 67.87% of his $64.1M salary, with $42.3 coming through year two and $49.9 coming through year three. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, who also spoke with Brown, the deal calls for Brown to play left tackle, and when asked about joining the Bengals, Brown said the following:
Brown’s time in Kansas City has officially come to an end as general manager Brett Veach pulled off a major deal to bring him in ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft. As a Chief for two seasons, Brown started 33 of a possible 34 games in the regular season and was selected to back-to-back Pro Bowls. Since his stint with the Baltimore Ravens, he has now maintained that distinction in four straight seasons. The football world was startled when the Chiefs decided not to franchise tag him earlier in March. As Brown and the team’s camps failed to reach an agreement on a contract extension, Brown entered the free agent market, which allowed Cincinnati to swoop in via free agency.
