Bengals extend Shawn Williams

It seems like a bit of head scratcher to be in such a rush to pay a play with 4 career starts a TJ Ward level contract. 

To each their own, but I would have rather paid a know commodity in Reggie Nelson for another season, and revaluated Williams's situation after the year. 

They locked up a kid for 5 years with a 1 year guarantee basically. I found this extremely team friendly. The part you are forgetting is the Bengals have watched this guy practice for 3 years so more than just 4 games started. To me the message was clear, they liked Williams and would have likely started him in 2016 over Nelson. Why pay your back up safety (Nelson in 2016) like a good starting safety?

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
