Much has been written this offseason about how the Cincinnati Bengals return the same starting five offensive linemen for the first time in the Joe Burrow era.

Rest assured Burrow realizes it, too.
While speaking with reporters recently during offseason workouts, Burrow made sure to stress this point about what an advantage it is to have the starting five in front of him locked down.
"To have all these guys back is a big advantage early in the season," Burrow said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. "You don't have young guys trying to fit into the mix and learn the communication on the fly. These guys had a lot of reps last year together, and communication is so key on the offensive line, and to be able to have reps at that is so valuable."
The Bengals made sure to avoid more line disruptions this offseason by agreeing to an extension with guard Dalton Risner. It’s a move that got overlooked quickly thanks to the team's gigantic splashes later in the process, but it’s still a massive factor for the 2026 season.
With Risner in the fold, the Bengals have Ted Karras at center, breakout sophomore Dylan Fairchild at the other guard spot and Orlando Brown and Amarius Mims at the tackle spots.
The buzzword continuity has been the big thing around the Bengals this offseason. Hence, keeping all things related to Zac Taylor in place while the rest of the AFC North resets with new head coaches.
What shouldn’t go overlooked, though, is the continuity on the offensive line. Even Burrow isn’t being shy about it in public.
