On the other hand, Williams shows how much he buys into the idea of playing anywhere other than LT by immediately asking for a trade. The problem is, who exactly is looking to trade for a short armed OT who gave up the most sacks at his position last year?
If I were Williams, I'd be fighting my hardest to win and hold the starting job at whatever position they offer to him. Otherwise he might be finding it tough to maintain a roster spot on a good team, like the Bengals.
I can't blame Williams for asking for a trade to somewhere where he can continue as a Left Tackle. He has the potential to make way more money playing on the left. That said, if they can't make a trade for him, I fully expect him to embrace the right side to remain a starter and maybe move on next year. I think people forget, if you were making a lot of money doing one job, and all of a sudden your boss brought in another employee to take your spot and asked you to work at another spot where you are compensated less for the rest of your career, you'd probably be seeking employment options elsewhere as well. Doesn't mean he's disgruntled, it's a business decision.
