& SCS is one happy camper :D
It looks like the Bengals’ fourth-ranked defense is staying fully intact.
After signing up coordinator Mike Zimmer for three years back in January and getting tackle Tank Johnson for four more last week, the Bengals Saturday appeared ready to finish off a deal for safety Roy Williams according to agent Jordan Woy.
“We’re working on finishing it today. It looks good. Hopefully we’ll have an announcement soon,” Woy said.
Even though Williams played in just four games last year because of his forearm problems, Zimmer wanted back the man that went to four Pro Bowls with him in Dallas. The arm improved enough that Zimmer felt he could have played in the last regular-season game or two and even though Williams turns 30 during training camp they still feel he can provide leadership and aggressive play.
"He's a great player, a great person. He's uplifted this building and we want to have all those guys we can have here,” said head coach Marvin Lewis when they put Williams on injured reserve Nov. 13. “Tough guy to lose. But he's empowered other guys to play better and that's what you want guys to do. It's been good for us."
