The Cincinnati Bengals' signing of Orlando Brown to play left tackle caused incumbent Jonah Williams to request a trade.

Despite the former first-round pick's desire to move out of town, coach Zac Taylor said Monday at the Annual League Meeting that he anticipates Williams just moving four positions down -- to right tackle, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports

"I like everything about Jonah. I'm excited to see him come in and compete at right tackle," Taylor said, via the team's official website. "He's always been everything we wanted him to be about. We've never had issues with him. Hopefully, we can work through this, and he can come in and compete at right tackle for us. That's what we're counting on him to do … He's never been an issue and I don't anticipate that being an issue."

The Bengals got a good deal with Brown coming over from Kansas City. He might not be a Trent Williams-type blind-side blocker, but he's solid and an immediate upgrade over Williams, who has struggled in that spot, including allowing 12 sacks in 2022, tied for most in the league, per Pro Football Focus.
