CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow's getting more protection.
Cincinnati signed free agent Trent Brown, a 6-foot-8, 370-pound offensive tackle, to a one-year deal. Brown previously played for New England, winning the Super Bowl 2019 with the Patriots. He'll reunite with former teammate Ted Karras in Cincy.
Alongside offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr., who is 6-foot-8 and 345 pounds, the Bengals now have two of the biggest linemen in the NFL.
The Bengals also announced that receiver Trenton Irwin will play another season in Cincinnati after signing a one-year extension on Tuesday.
Irwin has played in 34 regular-season games, scoring five touchdowns and catching 43 passes for 586 yards.
