Cincinnati locks up a quality blindside protector for Joe Burrow on a team-friendly extension. Multiple headlines confirm Brown's buy-in, with reporters noting he downplayed Burrow trade rumors directly. Key signal: Brown representing himself in negotiations suggests mutual trust and a fair deal for both sides. Fans are buzzing that securing the offensive line signals the Bengals are committed to contending, not rebuilding. If Brown stays healthy, this extension looks like a smart, above-average investment protecting a franchise quarterback.

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Cincinnati Bengals — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Orlando's on-field performance ranks in the middle of the pack among NFL OTs, grading him as a serviceable starter at the position. His $16.0M average annual value ranks as mid-range money for the OT market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — serviceable starter production at mid-range money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Orlando is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 2-year, $32.0M deal keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
