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. 

Williams was baffled by the mix signals given to him by the staff. And no I’m not criticizing them. It just happens. He felt secure ( Callahan comments a few weeks before the trade) but when they got an opportunity to get Orlando things changed. The staff misjudged Williams desire to move to RT ( he’s been a great team first guy). Tough deal for all of them.
