Joe Burrow said he didn’t spend any time second-guessing himself or pondering what might have been after the Bengals’ Super Bowl loss.

The Cincinnati Bengals went right to free agency for their biggest area of need, agreeing to contracts with a pair of offensive linemen on Monday. People with knowledge of the deals confirmed to The Associated Press that the Bengals reached agreements with Tampa Bay Buccaneers guard Alex Cappa and offensive lineman Ted Karras, formerly of the New England Patriots. The 27-year-old Cappa, who allowed just one sack last season for the Bucs while protecting Tom Brady, agreed to a four-year, $40 million deal.

DAVIE, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins have answered one of their big offseason questions. According to multiple reports, the Dolphins have agreed to a one-year deal with center Matt Skura.

The Dolphins signed free agents Ereck Flowers and Ted Karras this offseason, and its likely that those two can be viewed as viable starters along with Jesse Davis, who can play every position on the offensive line except for center. Where those three end up playing totally depends on which offensive linemen the Dolphins add in the draft. With the Dolphins expected to draft a franchise quarterback with the No. 5 pick, addressing the offensive line is a priority. 26 picks, the team could select a left tackle and right tackle on the first day of the draft.
