You claimed the Jags decided to wait until after the draft. Conway reports the Bengals chose not to trade him which contradicts your claim.

You’ve directly contradicted yourself multiple times even admitting you “haven’t heard” if Williams “came around” after claiming he did. I’ve got all the help I need, thank you.

Sooner did accurately inform some (like myself) that the Jags were a possibility leading up to (and during) the draft, which Kelsey Conway confirmed to be true.
I do believe Sooner has a reliable source who works with the Bengals in some fashion, as some of the things we hear about wouldn't have been known by anyone other than an insider.
Just because some of the stuff doesn't always come to fruition doesn't mean it hadn't been talked about at some point amongst the team/front office and was potentially on the verge of being a reality.

What I believe happened is the Bengals were interested in trading Jonah, but only for a certain price. And that price, as has been the case for many of their players, was likely too high for most teams to want to make a deal.
Jags were interested, but probably for lower than what the Bengals wanted, so the deal ultimately didn't go through and they went the draft route instead.
