Bengals Re-Sign Veteran Guard Bobbie Williams
On Saturday, the Cincinnati Bengals retained a key cog in their offensive line by signing free agent guard Bobbie Williams. Adam Schefter tweets:
Big move for the Bengals o-line: Cincinnati reached agreement Saturday with veteran free-agent guard Bobbie Williams.
The 2010 season will be Williams’ seventh year in Cincinnati. Our Bengals blog, Cincy Jungle, wrote something on Williams in March that sheds some light on how this signing could impact the team’s draft decisions.
On one hand, the Bengals signing Bobbie Williams back could make the idea of drafting a guard in the early rounds rather moot. But that would be going off the suggestion that the Bengals interest in Iupati would be relative to what happens with Williams. Or, do the Bengals want to upgrade left guard? How much of an improvement is Iupati over Nate Livings or Evan Mathis?
