The Cincinnati Bengals are facing a significant challenge this offseason with the departure of veteran right tackle Trent Brown, who recently signed with the Houston Texans after suffering a season-ending injury in Week 3 of last year. Analysts argue that losing Brown puts added pressure on the Bengals to secure offensive line reinforcements, especially as they already need to upgrade at both guard positions. While rookie Amarius Mims showed promise during practice, the team may still consider drafting a tackle to bolster depth. Despite this setback, the Bengals have focused on retaining their critical free agents, with the loss of linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither being another notable departure.
