Bengals
- Outkick’s Armando Salguero writes that so far the trade market for Bengals LT Jonah Williams has been weak. One GM for another team told him it’s because Williams wants to be a left tackle and some teams question how well he fits there: โHeโs not a big man with long arms and he plays like it. He might not even be a tackle.โ
- After signing Orlando Brown Jr, the Bengals want to move Williams to right tackle. But he’s declined in a contract year. A scout told Salguero something similar happened when Williams was in college, as Alabama wanted to move him to center his senior year but he declined.
- Bengals HC Zac Taylor said he has no update on a potential contract extension for QB Joe Burrow, adding: โNot my job thankfully.โ (Jay Morrison)

Browns GM Andrew Berry said that they actually tried to trade for WR Elijah Moore last year, but the Jets weren’t looking to move him at that time.
โThey were pretty adamant that they werenโt looking to move him [then],โ Berry said, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.
In the end, the Browns were able to Moore in a pick swap with the Jets.
- The Cleveland Browns announced Monday that they’ve hired Nyema “Nemo” Washington as their next Bill Willis Diversity Coaching Fellow.
