Bengals' left tackle Jonah Williams requested a trade after the team signed Orlando Brown Jr. to a four-year, $64.09 million contract a week ago and he may be on the move sooner than later.

Cincinnati has reportedly had trade conversations centered around Williams and interest is heating up. Williams, who has 47 career starts, has "several possible suitors," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

It is still unknown what compensation the Bengals are looking for their former left tackle along with which teams are interested. However, it's good news for Cincinnati fans as his price may rise with higher demand.

The dream scenario for the Bengals would be landing a day two pick for Williams but that is a lot to ask for a one-year rental unless the suitor is willing to sign him to an extension before playing a down for them.

Williams is due $12.6 million guaranteed on his fifth-year option but it is rare for a talented left tackle to become available. Cincinnati's 2019 first round pick is still only 25-years-old as well.

Either way, Williams' days as a Bengal are numbered, and with Brown Jr. already in the building, both sides are ready for a fresh start.
