Tampa Bay Buccaneers free-agent guard Alex Cappa intends to sign a four-year, $40 million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals after free agency opens on Wednesday, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Bengals have also agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal with New England Patriots center/guard Ted Karras, sources told ESPN.
The additions of Cappa and Karras will bolster the Bengals' offensive line as the team tries to improve the protection for quarterback Joe Burrow.
A third-round draft pick out of Humboldt State in 2018, Cappa transitioned from offensive tackle to guard with the Buccaneers and earned a starting role in his second season in 2019.
