I just hope he blows it in key moments like he did for KC. Not sure how the Bengals could see him struggling with Hendrickson & whoever else from their DL and think "yeah we want that guy." At least from their side of it they didn't overpay for him. [Reply]

Nope he’s the LT
This is a deal for Orlando Brown to play left tackle. He was adamant he wanted to stay there. #Bengals will allow him to do that and play with a contender that could face the #Chiefs in the postseason. https://t.co/m7AsXeZUJv

Yeah, I feel the same. It's funny he screwed himself out of money but it's still a low blow signing with an AFC rival and it's a relatively cheap deal no less. He'll make their line better. [Reply]

Same. I don't get how this really just happened. OBJ is getting a shit deal to go to our #1 rival, while we pay another guy way more to switch from RT to LT. [Reply]
Here is the reported offer from the #Chiefs last year for Orlando Brown Jr vs what the Bengals reportedly gave him tonight, I’ll be curious to see the guarantees when the dust settles. pic.twitter.com/o1kjQ385mf
