Glad we didn't sign him honestly. He is very talented. But a douche. I'm sure I just smell Niner taint on him, but honestly all I see is the boom box bullcrap, and "bang bang. Niner gang" When I see that dude.

Besides. (and I didn't watch the video, so maybe this was answered) but this timeline overlaps with Big Whit. Were they going to flip him to RT?

From article...

“[The Rams] asked me to play left guard because they had Andrew Whitworth,” Williams told The Athletic. “It was his [next-to-last] year and it would have been a tough conversation to have [with him]. … So I’m like, ‘I’m not playing left guard. Not right now.’”

The Rams’ request came from respect — Whitworth was a franchise icon nearing the end of a stellar career — but for Williams, a generational left tackle still in his prime, the idea of switching positions didn’t sit right.

But also in that article, they went back to Williams and said he can play LT (with Andrew's blessing which makes me think Andrew might have been willing to slide in to LG).
