The Cincinnati Bengals made a huge move late Wednesday night. 

Orlando Brown Jr. agreed to a four-year deal worth $64.092 million and a record signing bonus for an offensive lineman of $31 million to join the Bengals.

Brown officially landed in Cincinnati on Friday for his introductory press conference, and one thing he said will make Bengals fans very excited. 

“I want to be a franchise left tackle. I want to win football games. Super bowls," said the four-time Pro Bowler. “I knew when the offer came through it was something I couldn’t pass up.”

Of course, winning championships is what it's all about in the NFL, and the Bengals are still seeking their first after coming so close the last two seasons with multiple AFC Championship Game appearances and a Super Bowl berth. However, Brown has another motivation for being in Cincinnati. 

Brown started as a right tackle during his days with the Baltimore Ravens but switched to left tackle permanently once he went to the Kansas City Chiefs. It meant a lot to Brown to stay on the left side, and the reason is pretty special.

"I'm super thankful for the opportunity to carry on my father's legacy and be a left tackle, said Brown. "It was important to be able to play that position and play for a winning team and a winning quarterback."

Brown's father, Orlando Brown Sr., played 13 seasons in the NFL for the Ravens and Cleveland Browns, and tragically passed away at the age of 40 in 2011.

Speaking of quarterbacks, Brown met with Joe Burrow in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday.

"He's a lot cooler," said Brown. "You hear the nickname, 'Joe Cool,' but sometimes, you know, you hear that, but he's a lot cooler."

The two dined on cheeseburgers from Shake Shack as well as chicken and went over some Xs and Os in the process.

He’s fired up, like I was,” Brown said, according to ESPN’s Ben Baby. “You can tell right away why he’s had the success he’s had.”

Getting familiar with teammates is important when a player joins a new team, bonding is key. However, a player feeling embraced by the fans is also an essential part of the process. 

Brown spoke on if he's felt taken in by Bengals fans so far.

“Big time," said Brown. “I’m so happy to be a Bengal.” 

Brown is yet another building block that the Bengals have brought in to protect Burrow since this time last year when Cincinnati brought in right tackle La'el Collins, center Ted Karras, and right guard Alex Cappa. 

One thing is for sure, what Brown said about what he brings to the table will also get the fans in Cincinnati hyped up.

"You're getting a competitive left that loves to block one-on-one, loves to have those opportunities," Brown said. "You're getting somebody that's a leader in the locker room, that's going to be a leader in the offensive line room. It's my responsibility to do my best and go out there and compete at a high level."

All eyes will be on Brown in 2023 to see if he continues to play at that level and keep Burrow upright as much as possible.
