There’s already been considerable speculation linking the Cincinnati Bengals to Terron Armstead, the massively-talented New Orleans Saints left tackle headed for free agency in March. And it makes sense given all the attention Cincinnati has given to past Saints free agents, and the fact that standout quarterback Joe Burrow was just sacked 19 times in postseason play. There’s an obvious need and precedent for a connection there.
But Armstead is going to be one of the most hotly-contested free agents on the market. Franchise left tackles with Pro Bowl honors and All-Pro accolades like him don’t become available every day. Almost every team with a promising young passer and a turnstile or two along the offensive line is going to give him a call.
