Source: Jonah Williams seeks Bengals exit after Brown deal

CINCINNATI -- The longest-tenured member of the Bengals' offensive line is seeking a trade.

Offensive tackle Jonah Williams has expressed his desire to be traded, a source confirmed to ESPN on Friday. The request comes after four-time Pro Bowl tackle Orlando Brown Jr. agreed to terms with the Bengals earlier in the week.

Williams, the Bengals' first-round selection in 2019, has been their primary starter since he arrived. But his position as the team's anchor on the left side of the line appeared to be supplanted after Cincinnati landed Brown on a four-year, $64 million deal that included a $31 million signing bonus.
