Entering his eighth year with the Cincinnati Bengals, safety Shawn Williams is still a centerpiece for Lou Anarumo’s defense.
There was a brief moment this offseason where it appeared that long time Cincinnati Bengals safety Shawn Williams could have been on his way out the door. The front office had gone on a spending spree in free agency, and one of their acquisitions was the 25-year-old Vonn Bell, who plays the same position as Williams.
Moving on from Williams, one of the team’s best leaders, was the last thing on the mind of Zac Taylor and company, according to Bengals.
