The Cincinnati Bengals have reached an agreement with offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. on a two-year contract extension, according to @AdamSchefter of ESPN. The deal ensures the veteran tackle remains under contract with the franchise through the 2028 season.
Orlando Brown Jr., a cornerstone of the Bengals offensive line, originally joined Cincinnati as a high-profile free agent during the 2023 offseason. This extension adds two additional years to his previous commitment, solidifying the protection for quarterback Joe Burrow for the long term. Since arriving in Cincinnati, Brown has been a fixture at the left tackle position, providing the size and veteran experience necessary to stabilize the team's front five.
The move comes as the Bengals continue to prioritize offensive line depth and continuity. By extending Brown Jr. through 2028, the organization secures a four-time Pro Bowler during his prime years. While specific financial details regarding the extension have not yet been made public, the agreement marks a significant investment in the team's trenches as they look to remain contenders in the AFC North.
