Brown agreed Wednesday with the Bengals on a four-year, $64 million contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Brown's deal includes a $31 million signing bonus, the largest ever for an offensive lineman. One of the league's most talented tackles, the 26-year-old Brown has the opportunity to provide the Bengals' offensive line with a much needed boost as the team look to improve protection for franchise quarterback Joe Burrow. With the arrival of Brown, a four-time Pro Bowler, the Bengals are expected to move Jonah Williams to right tackle.

Chiefs' Orlando Brown: Won't be tagged
Rotowire
Brown won't be franchise tagged by the Chiefs, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
After playing under the tag this past season, the defending Super Bowl champions have opted not to use it on Brown for the 2023 season. While this move is somewhat unexpected, it does not come as a complete surprise, as it would have cost the money-tight Chiefs $19.92 million against the salary cap. Kansas City will have until March 13 to try and re-sign Brown before he hits the open market. Otherwise, the four-time Pro-Bowl tackle will likely end up as one of the most highly coveted free agents.
