According to league sources, Alex Cappa will sign a four-year, $40 million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals after free agency opens on Wednesday.

The addition of Cappa will bolster the offensive line as the team tries to improve the protection for the quarterback.

A third-round draft pick out of Humboldt State, Cappa transitioned from offensive tackle to guard in his second season with the Buccaneers.

Two seasons ago, in the wild-card victory over Washington, Cappa fractured his ankle and was placed on injured reserve, but he battled through it and finished the season with one sack.

He started all 17 regular-season games and two playoffs. He had more run-blocking wins than any other player on the team, and his 400 pass-blocking wins were tied with center Ryan Jensen for most on the team.

He was named a Pro Bowl alternate for the first time in his career after giving up 10 sacks in the regular and playoffs. He produced a 90.5% pass blocking win rate.
