He signed a 4-year contract in 2023. He brings stability and leadership to the offensive line room. He was on the field for 1,110 offensive snaps last season, which was the fifth-most in the NFL among offensive tackles. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7b\">The Bengals are bringing back all five of their starting offensive linemen for the first time in Joe Burrow&#8217;s career. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7e\">&#8220;I think Orlando has been a tremendous leader from that standpoint, and helping Amaris grow. I think you give credit to Orlando,&#8221; Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said in December. &#8220;That&#8217;s just a great combination of people, sitting there next to each other, communicating. And that&#8217;s what high level offensive lines do. Ted (Karras) communicating to the group, from a center standpoint, that&#8217;s Dylan (Fairchild) and Ted, that&#8217;s Dylan and Orlando, that&#8217;s Dalton and Ted, Dalton and Amarius. I just think as a whole, the communication has been outstanding, and Jalen (Rivers) is more than capable as well. He&#8217;s got time in there Lucas (Patrick) when he&#8217;s been in there. So it&#8217;s just really, really impressive in terms of the overall connection of the communication. I think that&#8217;s why our offensive line is playing the best since I&#8217;ve been here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7h\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/bengals\/onsi\/newsletter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign Up For Our DAILY Newsletter for More Free Coverage of the Cincinnati Bengals Delivered to You Directly<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7k\">For more on the Bengals,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@BengalsTalk?sub_confirmation=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">subscribe to our YouTube Channel<\/a> and be sure to check us out on your favorite audio platforms, including <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/cincinnati-bengals-talk\/id1789855235\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tr.ee\/Pr_-yuVTFI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/1333-cincinnati-bengals-talk-256880212\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iHeartRadio<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/030daf38-754f-4a5f-9846-3c5689070770\/cincinnati-bengals-talk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>.
