I'm starting this to talk about the guys the Bengals sign so they don't get lost in everything else. Everything else can stay in any of the other forums.
From Adam Schefter
Tom Brady’s loss will be Joe Burrow’s gain: Bucs’ free-agent guard Alex Cappa intends to sign a four-year, $40 million deal with the Bengals after free agency opens, per league sources.

Re: Bengal Transactions
A few PFF notes on Alex Cappa
27.1 years old.
Overall score in 2021 was 74.2. He played 1,182 snaps.
His pass blocking grade was 71.4 and his run blocking grade was 71.2.
He did allow five sacks, but I obviously don't know the context. He was the 18th rated Guard in the NFL in 2021.

The Cappa deal doubles the AAV of the highest amount the #Bengals had ever given to a guard in their history.
Joe Burrow changes the way they do business yet again.

Alex Cappa seriously tried to play with a broken leg against Washington in the wild-card game in 2020. Like he legit tried to play on a BROKEN LEG. Unreal toughness. An instant upgrade for the Bengals’ offensive line.

I'd like to hop in the DeLorean back to 2018 just to inform people the #Bengals would soon be the first out of the gate in free agency dropping $10M per year on a guard just to record the reactions.

From SI.com.....
Here's What Alex Cappa Brings to the Bengals' Offensive Line
The 27-year-old agreed to terms with Cincinnati on Monday.
CINCINNATI — The Bengals reportedly agreed to a four-year, $40 million contract with Buccaneers guard Alex Cappa on Monday afternoon.
The 27-year-old started all 17 games for Tampa Bay last season.
What exactly are the Bengals getting in Cappa?
Jon Ledyard covers the Buccaneers for Pewter Report. He shared some thoughts about the former third-round pick.
"Alex Cappa is a solid starting right guard who has improved every year in NFL," Ledyard tweeted. "He also played through a broken arm and tried to stay in a game with a broken leg. Don't know how high the ceiling is bc he lacks great tools/athleticism. But great technique is his calling card... He's a tough, team-first guy with an ultra-physical mentality."
That sounds like someone the Bengals could use in the trenches. Cincinnati has signed plenty of ascending players in their mid-20's over the past few seasons and it's worked out well for them. Cappa is the latest addition to that list.

Re: Bengal Transactions
I like the move. That's a good start. While not elite, he's pretty good and a huge upgrade. I like his toughness and that he's still relatively young at 27, as well. As part of an overhaul of at least three positions, he's a really good option.
