I also think you have to give him development under the new Oline coach, and see what he does (which you will need more than 1 year off to do.) Now resign to a new contact, lets wait and see, but the 5th year, its a no brainer pick it up.
Were you upset we didn't pick up Price's option? What about Ogbuehi's? (Fwiw, I'm not saying these are equal comparisons but I think it puts a hole in you "no matter what" argument.)
I don't think that because a player plays a particular position that they should be guaranteed an option year. It should be a case by case basis. Either they're worth the investment or they're not. And if Williams misses more time I think it would be insane to fully guarantee his last two years of his deal, and to set his market at 11 mil + for 2023.
To each their own, but I think this dude has a lot to prove this year to warrant that type of commitment two years in advance.
