If he moved to RT, started, and contributed to yet another winning Bengals team Jonah could have positioned himself to earn more. Maybe he wants to compete and earn the big bucks as a LT heading into FA.
When we drafted him, he pretty much said he only wanted to play LT. It is a money thing with most OT's, they ALL want to be
the LT. Orlando says it is about family pride as well though. You have to be really good to be a LT in the NFL. I thought Jonah
would be more humble than this and tough it out and try and compete at RT myself, but doesn't sound like that is the case.
Have to trade him if he is unhappy here.
Weird, with Burrow he has a chance at a ring.

Bengals may not get much in return in trading Williams but they likely free up more cap room for this season
Wouldn't of surprised me if Carman beat him out at RT anyways honestly as injury prone as Jonah is.
Freeing up cap room alone would be a good move in a trade.
If we get a 3rd or even 4th round pick for him while doing so even better.
