Williams said if the team told him it liked Orlando Brown and wanted Williams to move to right tackle, it would have been "hard to hear" but was understandable. Williams is set to make $12.6 million in guaranteed money this season after Cincinnati picked up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract last year.

The NFL free agency is underway, and Lamar Jackson is the top free agent on the board, followed by Jordan Poyer and Orlando Brown. Good left tackles are hard to find, and Brown is one of those players. Poyer appears to be on his way out of Buffalo, while Gardner-Johnson is tied for the NFL lead with six interceptions last season. David is one of the top linebackers on the market, and Seumalo is a good starting guard. Clowney had a disappointing season, and Schultz is one of the top tight ends available.
