Good point. Just don't entertain trade offers unless we get something the Bengals really like.
If not traded, Williams will have a choice. Be motivated to excel at RT and increase his value as a free-agent after the season. Or, don't invest fully as an RT, just mail it in, and his value on the open market will be less.
He was going to leave after the season anyway. Give him this choice and I would think he will work hard in this contract year.
