After being released by the Buffalo Bills last week, offensive lineman Quinton Spain is reportedly going to sign with the first team he had a free-agent visit with. That team is the Cincinnati Bengals.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Bengals are expected to sign Spain, which could come about on Friday, per Bengals Wire. That’s because before doing so, Spain has to pass the NFL’s COVID-19 safety protocols.
While Cincy isn’t in a playoff race currently at 1-5-1 overall, the Bengals do have huge concerns on their offensive line. Rookie quarterback Joe Burrow has flashed in his first season, but he’s been beaten up, too.
Spain would compete with linemen Mike Jordan, Billy Price and Alex Redmond for playing time. Along with those current Bengals, Cincy also landed another offensive lineman this week, BJ Finney, as well. He joins the Bengals in the other direction of the trade that sent defensive end Carlos Dunlap to the Seahawks.
After the 29-year-old was released by Buffalo last week, Bills Wire named the Bengals as one of his potential top-landing spots.
