Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Bengals are picking up OT Jonah Williams‘ fifth-year option on Friday for the 2023 season.
The fifth-year option is projected to cost the Bengals around $13,202,000 fully guaranteed for the 2023 season, but won’t prevent them from working on a long-term deal before then.
Williams, 24, was selected by the Bengals in the first round out of Alabama in 2019. He’s in the final year of a four-year, $17,630,162 rookie contract that included a $10,841,936 signing bonus.
In 2021, Williams has appeared in 16 games and started all 16 at left tackle.
