Endorsed by former New England teammate Ted Karras, veteran offensive tackle Trent Brown has signed a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals. The announcement made on Tuesday came as Brown transitions from New England Patriots to embrace a new football home, Cincinnati.

Brown’s acquisition is significant, helping the Bengals to secure the largest book-end tackles in the NFL. With experience playing both left and right tackle, he played left tackle for the Patriots in 2022 and 2023. However, his versatility extends further, having accumulated six years playing on either side of the offensive line. This will undoubtedly bring strategic advantages to the Bengals.

Trent Brown’s move to Cincinnati comes after Jonah Williams’ departure. The signing of Brown, who is set to protect quarterback Joe Burrow, will fill the need at the offensive tackle position, a void that Williams’ exit created.

At the backdrop of this engagement, Brown’s former teammate, Ted Karras, provides an endorsement, lending credibility and confidence to this new chapter in the Bengals’ journey. The inclusion of Trent Brown’s potent expertise and experience promise a bolstered offensive line for Cincinnati in the upcoming NFL season.
