CINCINNATI — The Bengals signed veteran guard Lucas Patrick to a one-year contract, the team announced on Friday. The deal is worth $2.1 million according to John Sheeran of A to Z Sports.

Patrick, 31, started 10 games for the Saints last season and has experience at both guard and center. The Bengals brought him in on a visit on Thursday night and the two sides agreed to a deal.

The veteran spent the first five years of his career in Green Bay, before playing for the Bears for two years and the Saints last year.

Patrick could be a solid depth piece for a Bengals' offensive line room that needed more depth. Is he going to compete for a starting job? That's the big question. He has experience at both guard spots and center.

He posted a 64.6 overall grade according to Pro Football Focus last season—the second mark of his career. He didn't allow a sack over the last two seasons in 893 pass blocking snaps and gave up three quarterback hits over that span according to PFF.

It's worth noting that Patrick was in Green Bay with current Bengals defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery. He signed with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Duke in 2016.

Cincinnati already signed two former Packers in free agency: T.J. Slaton and Oren Burks.

Patrick joins an offensive line room that includes Ted Karras, Orlando Brown Jr., Amarius Mims, Cody Ford and Cordell Volson.
