Cincinnati Bengals Begin Trade Talks For Offensive Tackle

The Cincinnati Bengals shocked the NFL world in free agency when they landed two time Super Bowl winning tackle Orlando Brown, giving them even more protection for star Quarterback Joe Burrow, but that leaves them in an odd spot with the offensive line.

Due to this move, their former first-round pick Jonah Williams has now officially requested a trade, and beginning on Wednesday, the team have reportedly begun discussions around the league surrounding Williams, with a move likely to come at some point this off-season.

With several teams out there needing proven experience at the tackle position, there will be plenty of interest in Williams, and if the Bengals can recoup a solid asset for him, it will help them as they look to finally take the next big step in their development.
