The Bengals are close to a deal to retain guard Bobbie Williams, a key to their vastly improved running game last season.

We thought Williams may get some interest from around the league, but we haven’t heard much about the 33-year-old guard over the last week.

Carlos Holmes of the Middletown Journal says the deal should keep Williams in stripes for the rest of his career.

Williams has been a mainstay in Cincinnati, starting every game except three since he joined the club in 2004.
