It's only March but we've already heard the Cincinnati Bengals quote of the year.
On Sunday, the Bengals made another HUGE addition to their offensive line, signing offensive tackle La'el Collins, who was released by the Dallas Cowboys earlier this month.
The deal with Collins is for three years.
Collins will join guard Alex Cappa and guard/center Ted Karras as Cincinnati's new offensive linemen brought in this offseason.
The Bengals knew that addressing their offensive line had to be a priority this offseason after quarterback Joe Burrow was sacked 70 times last season (including 19 times in the playoffs).
Adding Cappa and Karras was a great start. Adding Collins turns the Bengals' offensive line into a legitimate strength.
On Sunday, Collins dropped a quote that should make Burrow and all Cincinnati fans smile.
Collins said when he talked to Burrow to tell him he was signing with Cincy, he told him "your new bodyguard is in town, nobody is touching you".
The Bengals' culture has completely changed over the last two years. This entire franchise has a Super Bowl mentality. And it all starts with Joe Burrow.
Players weren't going out of their way before to sign with the Bengals. But now with Burrow under center, it's where player actually want to be.
That certainly bodes well for the future of the franchise.
