CINCINNATI — The Bengals signed La'el Collins to a three-year contract on Sunday afternoon. 

The 28-year-old joins Alex Cappa and Ted Karras as the newest members of the offensive line. 

The Bengals knew they needed to upgrade the position after Joe Burrow was sacked 70 times in 20 games last season. The new trio should help Burrow stay upright. 

Collins talked with his new quarterback shortly after signing his new contract. 

"Your new bodyguard is in town," Collins said. "Nobody's touching you."

The rest of the league saw what Burrow did behind a bad offensive line. Just imagine what he'll do with Collins, Karras and Cappa in front of him.
