There were no ifs, ands or buts about it. The Cincinnati Bengals HAD to upgrade the offensive line in a big way, and that they did.
It began with early free agency acquisitions of center Ted Karras and right guard Alex Cappa. Both players finished with PFF grades of 72+ last season and should be huge upgrades along the interior of this offensive line.
Then came the massive addition of La’el Collins after he was a cap casualty of the Dallas Cowboys. When healthy, Collins is one of the best right tackles in football and will be a massive upgrade over Isaiah Prince, who finished last season as the starter and had a 36.
