I like the idea of trading Williams and wonder if that was in the Bengals plans all along to get rid of the 12 million cap hit even before he asked for a trade.
They would play it safe and keep him, but the funds go a long way re-signing our big names.

It is hard to get a read on these new Bengals though. In the great draft debate as you put it I just thought 12 million and a 2nd round pick in Carman was too much invested at LT then bam we get Orlando. I was flabbergasted but now we are set at LT LG C and RG for three years or so if Volson can take that second-year step. That is why I think we need that RT that will be here for three plus years the younger the better which is why Collins and Williams do not seem to fit because of injuries and age.

There is no doubt, the line is in the best shape on paper that we've seen in a long time. I think drafting a RT is the correct move but hopefully Collins can get healthy and play and let the rookie sit back and learn and come along slow versus having to be out there week 1.
