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. 

That's a poor analogy to support the point you were trying to make, as Williams has had 4 seasons to prove that he could rise to the level of elite QB blindside protector.  He failed to get it done, and the team felt obligated to go hire someone else to protect their team's biggest asset, Joe Burrow.  Now, it is unfortunate that Williams has had to try to do his job while enduring physical injuries and such, but that is part of the job description.  He should embrace the opportunity to show that he still belongs in the NFL and is willing to be a team player and adapt a different role.
