A deal at that amount would be $15 mill APY.

If he was staying at RT, that would put him 7th among all RTs in yearly salary.
If LT, would be 11th highest.

If he re-signed with the Bengals, he would obviously play RT, so let's compare him to other RTs making around that cost.
Is he about as good as Rob Havenstein, Caleb McGary, and Jack Conklin?
McGary and Havenstein make $11.5 mill APY and Conklin makes $15 mill.

But you can also find a guy like Morgan Moses, who is only making $5 mill APY and is doing well with the Ravens. Or George Fant for only $3 mill.
Moses is playing better than Williams, Fant about the same.

For me personally, I'd be ok offering around $9-12 mill for Williams if he continues his current trend.
But I don't think he's worth $15+ mill unless he really starts dominating the second half of the season.
