Bobbie Williams confident he'll return to Cincinnati

Is the team's interest in Chester Pitts a result of a contingency plan in case they lose Bobbie Williams? Or is there a scenario that the Bengals would sign Pitts and Williams and have them flanking Kyle Cook at center?

Joe Reedy writes that they could sign both.

According to the National Football Post, the Bengals also have an interest in offensive guard Chester Pitts. The nine-year veteran has spent his entire career with Houston but suffered a knee injury last year. He's mainly lined up on the left side but would team up nicely if the Bengals were able to re-sign Bobbie Williams. He would also provide depth.

On the other hand, Geoff Hobson writes that if Williams returns, then that "would take off the radar Texans guard Chester Pitts".

Either way, Bobbie Williams appears confident that he'll return to Cincinnati.

“There’s never a question that I want to come back,” said Williams, 33, who has missed only three starts since he arrived in 2004 as a free agent. “I can say talks are definitely going in the right direction and we’ll see how it goes. I hope to be there by the time we start workouts March 29.”

How do you feel about the scenario of having Pitts and Williams at guard?

One thing the Bengals love to do...

…is make it clear that you are expendable during negotiations. Talking with Shayne Graham? Sign Rayner and let Rayner know that you’re gonna draft a kicker as well. Talking with Bobbie Willilams? Make it clear that you’ll sign Pitts in a heartbeat.

My sense is that Pitts is leverage. Which is fine. It would be nice to have Bobbie back to let the younger develop more.

Two veterans at guard - I would have a hard time opposing that.

A line of Whitworth-Pitts-Cook-Williams-Smith with our depth for goal line and unbalanced line situations could be nasty.

And, as Reedy points out, depth at OL is excellent to have as well.

I'd love to have both, but...

…I think that it’d be wiser to get one and use the extra money to lure Tank back.
