I would say there will be a lot of hungry and angry players in that group playing for a next Bengal contract or to impress another NFL team
If we draft another tackle in round 1 or 2, it then gets very interesting. They do have Ford listed as a guard on Spotrac for what it worth,
Some of those guys are competing for a 2023 spot as well. Don't forget Adeniji. I think it extremely unlikely that Brown, Williams, Collins, Carman, Adeniji, Ford, and Smith all make the final roster.
Even if Collins is on PUP AND Williams gets traded, I think one of the others still gets cut. And that's without a draft pick at OT. If a guy could cover OG4 and OT4, then maybe we keep 5 tackles. But Carman/Adeniji/Ford have all looked bad at guard. Collins had a decent year at G a while back, but he's likely hurt.
