If Tre Boston, a player that is equal to Iloka in talent, had to take below $3 million to play this year, teams weren't going to trade for Iloka who was due to make $8 million this year. Williams, despite being similar to Iloka, is also a better fit next to Bates due to him being able to play in the box. Unless something happened behind the scenes that we're not aware of, I think that's what it came down to.
I don't think this has anything to do with extending Geno and Carlos, they already had enough cap to do that. Bengals are either going to pocket Iloka's money or dare I say, go out on the market for a right tackle.
I will miss Iloka, he was very solid for a few years but I'm excited that they're giving the keys to Bates. Let's hope he lives up to the hype.
Nice post man, you need to post more. Could be right about Geno and Carlos, just thought we could get it all
done before the season, a new RT and these guys extended and MJ cut sure would be very nice.
