He failed to get it done, and the team felt obligated to go hire someone else to protect their team's biggest asset, Joe Burrow. Now, it is unfortunate that Williams has had to try to do his job while enduring physical injuries and such, but that is part of the job description. He should embrace the opportunity to show that he still belongs in the NFL and is willing to be a team player and adapt a different role.
Not really, I never said he was elite. He is "OK" as in middle of the pack. That does not mean being replaced and asked to take a spot that typically pays less does not sting. I don't blame the team, and I don't blame him. I think it's a normal reaction. He's not trash talking anyone, he simply asked to be traded. If they can't reade him, I expect he will still give his all on the right side. People are making more of the trade request than there really is.
