Carman will be the most popular o-lineman on the team until the first snap next year.  He took advantage of his opportunity like nobody expected.

I have no idea what it would cost to move on from La'el Collins next year.  Jonah is apparently locked in for another season.  Without a long-term deal, Jonah will have no choice but to swallow his pride and play whatever position the give him in camp.  I'd stick him at RT and find out what he can do.  

Barring laziness or stupidity on the offseason, Carman would be my starting LT at the beginning of camp.  He'd be on notice just like Jonah.  One screwup and he's back on the bench with a capable vet ready to step back into the LT spot.  

I think Volson will be fine with more development.  I look for him to take another big step forward in 2023.  

I'd consider drafting a tackle in the second or third round to develop for 24.  I don't think Collins or Williams will be Bengals at that point.
