The Cincinnati Bengals have been one of the most improved NFL teams over the past three seasons.
After the Bengals drafted Joe Burrow, there was a dramatic shift within the organization and fanbase, and now a winning culture has been established.
In an effort to keep up with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bengals have been active during the offseason, making various moves to add to their roster.
They have recently signed Orlando Brown Jr., who is widely regarded as a premier offensive lineman.
However, this may come at the expense of one of their own, as trade talks surrounding Jonah Williams have recently surfaced.
The #Bengals have had trade conversations centered around LT Jonah Williams, sources say, as the interest heats up in the player who has 47 career starts. Williams requested a trade following the signing of Orlando Brown, and Cincy has heard from several possible suitors.

Williams was the 11th overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Bengals.
While he has been a valuable contributor for them thus far, it may be time for him to move on.
Shortly after the signing of Brown was announced, Williams requested a trade from the team.
The left tackle position is seen as one of the most vital in the league, as they protect a quarterback’s blind spot.
However, with Brown now on the roster, Williams would be forced to change positions, likely shifting to somewhere that he is uncomfortable playing.
Williams was a national champion with the University of Alabama and was a highly-recruited offensive line prospect.
He should have plenty of potential suitors, as Ian Rapoport highlights above.
Many teams could utilize a 6-foot-4, 302-pound left tackle on their roster.
Who will land Williams during the increasingly chaotic NFL offseason period?
