Volson to RT? Hear me out...

We have 5 T's under contract for next year(Jonah, Collins, Carman, Adeniji, and Smith).  We have 2 G's(Cappa and Volson).  If you move Volson to RT, you have only 1 G and need to spend multiple draft picks or pick up multiple guys in FA.  You're creating depth issues at G and probably not fixing the RT problem, either.

After watching Cam Heyward beat Volson like a rented mule in both matchups last year, there's no way I'm trusting Volson to go against TJ Watt and Myles Garrett twice a year, either.  Kid will get slaughtered.

Really just 3 OTs on contract or next year.
Adeniji and Smith are just taking up space and need to be released.
Adeniji is who he is at this point. It's been 3 full seasons.
Smith has now been through 2 full seasons and hasn't been able to earn the right to play over the likes of Adeniji.

So the Bengals need (at least) one OT to improve the depth, if anything.

If Volson can be bumped to OT, the Bengals can go after two new OGs instead of going after 1 OG and 1 OT.
