Kappa signed a four-year, $35 million deal in the 2022 offseason. He started all 17 games in 2023 and 2024. 

Missing just one appearance in 2022 

The seven-year veteran was the 41st-best guard, according to Pro Football Focus, among guards who played at least 80 percent of the 1,178 snaps last season. He’s 17th in 2023 and 18th in 2022, jumping to 10th in 2020, when he won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

With Cody Ford set to hit free agency on March 12, the Bengals will now have only Cordell Wolson as the most experienced guard on the Tigers’ roster, along with Andrew Stuber, Matt Lee and Jackson Kirkland. 

The Bengals are reportedly likely to sign a guard in free agency, such as Will Fries, Teven Jenkins, Kevin Zeitler or Meghi Becton. 

Including card picks from this year’s draft such as Alabama’s Tyler Booker, Missouri’s Armand Membu, Ohio State’s Donovan Jackson, North Dakota State’s Gray Sable and Tate Ratledge, Georgia’s Dylan Fairchild and Cincinnati’s Luke Candra.  ( popslot )
