The Cincinnati Bengals have reached an agreement to extend offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. through the 2027 season, according to @AdamSchefter of ESPN. The move ensures that the veteran tackle remains a fixture on the Bengals' offensive line for the foreseeable future.
Orlando Brown Jr. originally joined the Bengals in March 2023, signing a significant four-year contract in free agency. By adding an additional year to his current deal, Cincinnati further solidifies the protection for star quarterback Joe Burrow. Brown, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, has been instrumental in the team's ongoing efforts to improve their pass protection and run blocking over the last several seasons.
Before his tenure in Cincinnati, Brown played for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens. His presence at left tackle has provided much-needed stability to a position that had been a point of concern for the franchise prior to his arrival. Details regarding the financial specifics of the extension have not yet been disclosed.
