The Cincinnati Bengals are contemplating enhancements to their offensive line ahead of the upcoming season. Despite previous moves, including drafting Dylan Fairchild and signing Lucas Patrick, fans are eager for the team to acquire veteran talent, specifically targeting guard Shaq Mason from the Houston Texans. Mason, a two-time Super Bowl champion, could provide the depth and experience that the Bengals' line requires, potentially easing the pressure on rookie Fairchild and improving overall performance.

While the Bengals have returned several players from last season, there are doubts about the effectiveness of Cordell Volson and Cody Ford. Acquiring Mason could solidify the starting five and enhance Joe Burrow’s protection as he gears up for another year in the competitive AFC North.
