Addressing the media shortly after the extension was announced, Brown said he negotiated the deal himself, with the two sides beginning their talks in early February.

“I just wanted to win,” Brown said. “It’s one less thing on my plate, one less thing on their plate.”

Brown is the second offensive line move of the offseason, after the team re-signed guard Dalton Risner to a one-year deal earlier this month.

Signed by the Bengals to a four-year deal prior to the 2023 season, Brown has started at left tackle in all 45 games he’s played for the Bengals. His initial deal was set to expire after this season.

Anchoring one of the more stable offensive lines the Bengals have had in several seasons last year, Brown was rated 65th of 89 tackles in the league by Pro Football Focus, with an overall grade of 60.6.

He was ranked 63rd in pass blocking (62.6) and 61st in run blocking (59.8) by PFF last season.

Having made his impact felt on the field, Brown has also made an impact off of it, being named the Bengals’ nominee for Man of the Year in 2024 for his work as an advocate for Type 1 diabetes with Breakthrough T1D.

Drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round in 2018 by the Baltimore Ravens, 2026 will be Brown’s ninth season in the league. A four-time Pro Bowler, Brown has played for the Ravens, Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs.

Along with the reinvestments in Brown and Risner, the Bengals are slated to return Ted Karras, Amarius Mims and Dylan Fairchild in 2026.
