I believe he threw a bit of a temper tantrum because he was coming up on his next contract and wanted to be paid as a left tackle, not a RT. So maybe he didn’t give it his all? I don’t know. But I remember that he didn’t last long on the right side and reported were that he really struggled. I vaguely remember this ... thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Dawkins should be next to move to LG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 There's an out in his contract this year that would ultimately save them $35 mil. Otherwise, they would be paying him 41 mil to play Guard the next 3 years. Yikes. Not sure how the dead money works out over the next couple years, but they might be better off cutting bait or working a trade now instead of paying him that to play G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 You take an offensive tackle at #11 you envisage he can play left tackle or else it is a bad pick. Personally I'd have been tempted to ease Williams in on the right side year 1 and then flip him but I can't blame the Bengals for deciding to get right to the decision point. Fair play. I don't think Jonah is a top 10 LT, but then Cordy hasn't been the last couple of years either. I see Jonah as a bit like Jake Matthews in Atlanta. He is gonna solidify that position and start there for a good number of years and you will never consider that spot a weakness but he is never going to flat out dominate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HT02 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 That probably makes Glenn a pretty expensive guard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I remember during the draft a lot of people projecting him to guard. Wonder how good he'll be. Did he stay healthy last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this post except the bolded. I would prefer a RT to be a bit more of a bruiser but that is jmo. What I will day is that if you are correct about Jonah playing at the level of a Matthews (or better), Oliver will have to be an excellent player (he very well might be) for this to have been a smart pick for the Bills. It will be interesting to watch this play out. 9 minutes ago, teef said: how does scottlaw feel about this? How do you want him to feel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 In one of the articles I read, the Bengals weren't happy with Glenn's production at LT last year and was a liability at times. Hence part of the reasoning for the move and draft pick. Sounds like a great example of Beane getting ahead of something again 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting $9.25M for the next 2 years in roster bonus and salary. Looking at total cap hit, that would make him the 6th highest paid LG this year, as opposed to the 19th highest paid LT. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Given that Williams was one of the top draft picks at the LT position & if he lives up to that we know Cordy is a good player & if he plays up to his potential that could be one intimidating left side of their O line something Dalton will love !!
