    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    The most recent update came here two weeks ago - he should be ready and throwing by OTAs in mid-May. Hopefully he can just get through the first week of camp where he's been hurt the last two years and be ready to roll Week 1. On another note, given there are three Browns on their offense now...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    And just like that, it's done. He'll be playing RT as Orlando Brown is the LT, but I'm excited. Hopefully a one-year deal playing for a contender gets the most out of him and gives him a chance at a bigger deal, as it's a position people are capable of playing at a high level into their 30s...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    After passing on Mekhi Becton (for now at least), Trent Brown is in for a visit today. It seems he frustrated many here with a lack of effort specifically last year, but it also seems there were stretches of high-end play throughout his time as a Patriot. He's also spoken highly of Ted Karras...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    As expected, DJ Reader is gone to Detroit after the Bengals signed Sheldon Rankins. That leaves them with a Reader-sized hole at NT, which is why they're meeting with Teair Tart today. Tart fell out of favor with Mike Vrabel in Tennessee, but he's been a productive player and they need as much...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    The Bengals addressed their most glaring need in a big way, signing Sheldon Rankins to a 2/26 deal. It's a bit outside their comfort zone as they really don't sign guys on the other side of 30, but he's still a productive player (he certainly kicked the Bengals ass when they played this year)...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    Mike Gesicki heads to Cincy on a 1/$3.25 million deal. It seems he can't block a lick, so he'll be more of a Boyd replacement as a big slot. They still need a TE in the draft who can do both things so they can run more 12 personnel. Burrow has gotten two total JAGs in CJ Uzomah and Hayden Hurst...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    I can't call a career of a RB with 8500 total yards in seven years disappointing, but it feels like there was a lot of unrealized potential. He probably would've been a top-10 pick if not for the incident and was billed as an excellent receiver which never really came to fruition. I thought he...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    Oh trust me, I know - there’s a graphic in last year’s thread that highlights the absurdity. The Latham rumors at 18 have already started - he seems like a very Bengals pick as a polished guy from a big school but apparently there’s some Ereck Flowers similarities on the downside. I don’t know...

    And they've just agreed to terms with Zack Moss for 2/8. That will officially be the end of the line for Mixon.

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    They need it to be a deep class since they also have a hole at RT at the moment. Jermaine Eluemunor was my preferred stopgap and he's gone - I imagine the starter will be a pick. Something like Murphy/Newton at 18 and Suamataia at 49 sounds pretty good right now.

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    The Bengals finally got on the board (externally) by adding Ravens S Geno Stone on a two-year, $15 million deal. This was in-line with the mid-tier safety market as the Bengals get their center fielder, which will allow Dax Hill to move into a hybrid role where his talents are much better used...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    Big game was referring to his playoff performances. He's had a couple duds, but he's had two big AFC Championship Games and would've been Super Bowl MVP had they won. I'm not saying his best season would've matched Puka's this year, but you also have to account for the AFC North being the only...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    I've pointed out his flaws, but he's much better than Juju - I know Juju had one year that tops all of Tee's, but there's a reason he had to settle for consecutive one-year deals after his rookie deal expired and could be out of the league pretty soon. Health has been an issue for Tee, but he's...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    Health is certainly a question as he's never completed a full season. He's played 16 games twice, but he pulled a hammy the last game of 2020 and although he played 16 games in 2022 (the Bengals only played 16 because of the Hamlin game), he left one game after one snap, another after 10 and...

    2024 Bengals: What Can Brown Do For You?

    His agency and their philosophy just do not mix. It's a shame since I think they could've done a small extension (years-wise) that only ends up with slightly more guaranteed than he'd make on the tag this year anyways. They should trade him because it's been the best thing for the organization...
