CLEVELAND, Ohio – Bengals<\/a> star left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. signed a two-year extension on Thursday, the team announced.<\/p>\n

Brown served as his own agent in contract negotiations, the Bengals said in a news release<\/a>. Terms of the deal were not immediately available.<\/p>\n

The extension keeps Brown in Cincinnati through the 2028 NFL season. He previously signed a four-year, $64 million free agent contract<\/a> with the Bengals in March 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe city, the team, this is what I envisioned for myself,\u201d Brown said in the release. \u201cHaving that stability. Being somewhere I want to be. I think the feeling is mutual from upstairs down.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe city has taken me in with my work in the community. The people have that blue-collar mindset. This is a hard-working city. They love their Bengals football. It\u2019s a football city,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Brown, 29, has started 45 games in three seasons with the Bengals. He has earned four Pro Bowl selections in eight NFL seasons with the Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens. He also won Super Bowl LVII while with the Chiefs during the 2022 NFL season. <\/p>\n

Brown, the son of former Cleveland Browns<\/a> and Ravens tackle Orlando \u201cZeus\u201d Brown, was drafted by Baltimore in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-8, 350-pound tackle described his contract deliberations with Bengals assistant general manager Steven Radecivic as a \u201csmooth negotiation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSteve was great just being honest and up front,\u201d Brown said in the release. \u201cThe deal creates a sense of stability for myself and the organization. I didn\u2019t necessarily feel the need to reset the market. We have great players in this locker room. It\u2019s rare for a player to say, but making it team friendly \u2026 The way that I see it, it puts me and my family and the organization in a good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CLEVELAND, Ohio – Bengals star left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. signed a two-year extension on Thursday, the team…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191272,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[139,141,140],"class_list":["post-191271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
