Free-agent guard Alex Cappa is choosing Joe Burrow over Tom Brady. Cappa agreed to terms on a four-year, $40 million contract with the Bengals.
Karras has started 44 games over the past three seasons for the Patriots and Miami Dolphins. On the opposite side of the line, the Bengals retained defensive tackle B.J. Hill on a three-year, $30 million deal, per Rapoport. The Bengals will also sign former New England Patriots offensive lineman Ted Karras to a three-year, $18 million deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source. Cappa agreed to terms on a four-year, $40 million contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, NFL Network's James Palmer reported.
Guard Alex Cappa plans to sign a four-year contract with the Bengals, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Cincinnati has also reached agreement with OL Ted ...
He returned in 2021, starting all 17 regular-season games and two postseason contests. He also produced a 90.5% pass blocking win rate. Former starting right tackle Riley Reiff and left guard Quinton Spain are free agents.
Cappa is set to play a large role on the Bengals offensive line this upcoming season.
This is great news for the Bengals, but it’s bigger than most may think. Cappa didn’t buy into Brady’s request though and will be a Bengal next season. The Bengals, as did all of their fans, knew that.
The Buccaneers have now lost both of their starting guards from the past two years. Cappa will move on to Cincinnati, while Ali Marpet announced his ...
Mar 14 Mar 14 Mar 14 Karras will sign for three years and $18 million, a source said. Mar 10 ESPN first reported Cappa's deal is four years and worth a maximum of $40 million.
The Cincinnati Bengals landed two upgrades to the offensive line on day one of free agency (well, the legal tampering period) in the form of interior ...
We still don’t know the exact details of the big B.J. Hill extension, but the team currently has roughly $21 million in cap space. He has $11 million in guarantees and a $9 million signing bonus. The cap hit escalates each year.
It took one minute for the Cincinnati Bengals to land one of the top offensive line free agents in guard Alex Cappa. The negotiating period for NFL teams to ...
Offensive line coach Frank Pollack said he was looking for more “glass eaters” and more veterans in his room and Cappa fits the bill. After allowing 70 sacks on franchise quarterback Joe Burrow in the 2021 season, the Bengals’ No. 1 priority this offseason is to bolster their offensive line. Cappa, a former third-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Division II Humboldt State, started all 19 games at right guard for Tampa Bay in the 2021 season.
Cappa is a third-round product from the 2018 draft who has started every game for the Buccaneers over the last two seasons. He's notably improved each year, ...
The Cappa move allows them to get creative, too. But what matters is the front office sniped a major upgrade at one of the four spots that need an overhaul, both in terms of productivity and sheer attendance. He’s notably improved each year, which is a big deal for the Bengals — he hails from Humboldt State, so they’re 100 percent banking on the 27-year-old only continuing to get better.
The Cincinnati Bengals wasted no time when the legal tampering aspect of free agency began, agreeing to terms on a deal with offensive guard Alex Cappa.
He’s also just 27 years old, so he has a chance to earn another big contract this offseason if he plays well during his stint in Cincy. The right guard position was such a revolving door in 2021, as we saw three different guys start there and none of them were exactly stellar. The Bengals had to address their offensive line this offseason and they did so in a big way with the signing of Cappa. Joe Burrow has to be beaming after this news hit the streets because now he has one of the best right guards in the league protecting him for the next few years.
Per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Cappa is signing a four-year. $40 million deal with Cincinnati. Tom Brady's loss will be Joe Burrow's gain: Bucs' free ...
There should be no doubt that Cappa will come in and start for the Bengals at that position with this deal. The $10 million AAV is twice as large as what Clint Boling received via an extension in 2015. Last season, Cappa achieved career highs in Pro Football Focus pass blocking (69.2) and run blocking (69) grades and finished with an overall grade of 71.9, the sixth-highest among starting right guards.
The Bengals intend to sign Tampa Bay Buccaneers' free agent guard Alex Cappa, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The reported contract is $40 million for four ...
Hakeem Adeniji started nine games, including Super Bowl LVI, for the Bengals last season at right guard. Cappa was only flagged once all of last season, per PFF. He allowed only five sacks on the 1,182 snaps he played, according to PFF. The five allowed sacks were tied for the 11th fewest, while the 1,182 snaps were the fourth-most in the league.

Cappa is the latest addition to that list. "He also played through a broken arm and tried to stay in a game with a broken leg. He's a tough, team-first guy with an ultra-physical mentality."
Monday, players and teams could come to verbal agreements for contracts starting at 12:00 pm ET. Within the first five minutes, the Bengals began to improve ...
Cappa will be a welcomed addition to an offensive line room where guard play was clearly a hindrance for an offense loaded with firepower. Do you think it was a good start for the retooling in the trenches? After perhaps the biggest target in Ryan Jensen signed a deal to remain with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cappa was clearly priority one for the front office.
The Bengals have agreed to sign Alex Cappa (Twitter link via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com). The former Buccaneers guard scores a four-year, $40MM deal, ...
For his career, Cappa has suited up for 52 games (46 starts) across the last four years. Some had speculated that Tom Brady‘s un-retirement would help sway Cappa to stay. Now, they’ve got a proven veteran that can stop the interior rush and open up rushing lanes.
Committing just one penalty and allowing five sacks and 32 pressures in 2021, Cappa was part of an offensive line that allowed just 23 sacks -- the fewest in ...
As for the Buccaneers, Tom Brady will be losing both his starting guards from last season as Cappa departs in free agency and Ali Marpet retired. Burrow was sacked 70 times last year, the third-most in a single season since the merger. The Bengals offensive line allowed 19 sacks in the postseason, as Joe Burrow was sacked the most by a quarterback in NFL playoff history.
A quick look at every free-agent signing by the Cincinnati Bengals during the 2022 NFL offseason.
What's the risk: Allen gives the Bengals a lot of stability and familiarity in the quarterback room, which is good. What it means: Tupou made nine starts in the regular season and one in the postseason, when he was battling a knee issue. What it means: The Bengals will bring their trusty long snapper back for a 14th season. What it means: Thomas gives the Bengals some depth at safety but will likely play a bigger role on special teams. Excluding games at the end of the '20 and '21 seasons, Allen has done a serviceable job as a back-up. But after the Bengals made a big move for defensive end Trey Hendrickson last year that paid off, Cincinnati has shown an excellent track record in moves on the defensive line. He became a big priority after starting defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi committed to the Bears on Monday. Ogunjobi had the higher sack total but created only four of them, per ESPN Stats & Info. The Bengals ponied up the money to keep Hill and ensured an interior pass rush to accompany edge rushers Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard. Both of the tight ends who signed with the Jets, Uzomah and Tyler Conklin, were reportedly linked to Cincinnati and signed with the Jets on deals that paid at least $7 million. The Bengals didn't have anyone higher than 57th, according to ESPN Stats & Information. It's a clear admission that Cincinnati's blocking wasn't good enough last year and must improve if the Bengals want to get back to the Super Bowl. Outside of Apple, Cincinnati has some unproven depth and will be taking a decent risk if it doesn't bolster the unit further. Cincinnati can't have a repeat of what happened with Cordy Glenn. The Bengals traded for Glenn in 2018, a relationship that soured just one year later. What it means: The Bengals landed the big recruit who was in town on an official visit.
