The Cincinnati Bengals wasted little time addressing their most significant need for the 2022 NFL season when they went out and signed free-agent center Ted Karras away from the New England Patriots, a two-time Super Bowl champion.
In addition to Karras, the Bengals signed guard Alex Cappa and tackle La'el Collins replacing three-fifths of the offensive line that struggled during the 2021 season that ended with a Super Bowl loss.
Karras comes from a family with a long NFL history. Grandfather Ted Karras Sr. won a championship with the Chicago Bears, and great uncles Lou Karras and Alex Karras also played in the league during the 1950s and 1960s.
Ted's father played for Washington during the player's strike in 1987 as a replacement player and enjoyed a long college coaching career.
Karras joins Dave Lapham In The Trenches, presented by First Star Logistics, to discuss his high school, college, and NFL career, along with his excitement of joining the Bengals with Cappa and Collins to help protect quarterback Joe Burrow going forward.
