The Bengals are making a significant addition to their offensive line by signing former Patriots tackle Trent Brown to a one-year deal. Brown, a seventh-round pick in 2015, previously won a Super Bowl with the Patriots and spent time with the Raiders before returning to New England in 2021.

With injuries impacting his playing time in recent seasons, Brown's arrival fills a void left by Jonah Williams' departure to Arizona. He is expected to boost the Bengals' offensive line and potentially start at right tackle alongside Orlando Brown Jr.
