I remember him playing LG a few times in 2018 but I don't remember the circumstances as to why, though.
I think it would be best to let Trent play his natural position where he's been elite for so many years and move Jonah to RT. I know they're intent on grooming Jonah to be the franchise left tackle for the next decade, as they should be, but Jonah has experience at RT from college so I don't see the harm in letting him get his feet wet by playing on the right side first. Your tackles would be set for this season and if you still bring in competition for John Miller, whether that's a low-tier FA signing or another mid-round guard, then you can sell me on the OL being in good shape next season.
This is just another reason why getting a 3rd for Dalton will really help. Worst-case scenario you trade #65 and miss out on some good receivers and maybe a linebacker but there'll still be some good talent left at #87 if we send Dalton to NE. Trent Williams missing an entire year hurt his value and he'll be 32 on an expiring contract. I don't expect teams to shell out more than a late 3rd/4th for him. #65 is a slight overpay but more than worth it.
But alas, this is just discussion as this is a very unlikely scenario the Bengals would pursue, especially if they want to build the defense through the draft.
