The part you are forgetting is the Bengals have watched this guy practice for 3 years so more than just 4 games started. To me the message was clear, they liked Williams and would have likely started him in 2016 over Nelson. Why pay your back up safety (Nelson in 2016) like a good starting safety?
Where do you get that Nelson would have been the backup if he came back? I remember reading that they had talks for almost a month, but the sticking points were contract length and guaranteed money.
