Ted Karras, the Bengals’ rock at center and Joe Burrow’s steadfast protector, is set to play his final season in Cincinnati—possibly his last with the team. Signed to a one-year, $6M extension in 2024, he’ll earn $3.4M in 2026 with a $100K workout bonus. More than just a durable, top-ranked pass protector, Karras is a vocal leader who elevates his teammates, earning praise from opponents like Dexter Lawrence. With the Bengals keeping the same starting offensive line for the first time in Burrow’s career and a new rookie center, Connor Lew, on the roster, Karras’ 2026 season could be his swan song—and maybe the year they finally win it all.
