The Cincinnati Bengals are reportedly close to re-signing veteran offensive guard Bobbie Williams.

The deal would likely keep the 34-year-old in Cincinnati for the rest of his career according to Carlos Holmes of the Middletown Journal.

Williams is an unrestricted free agent that hasn’t gotten a lot of play around the league, perhaps because of his age.

However, he is credited with helping to improve the Bengals running game last season and praised for his leadership in the locker room.

The team also re-signed defensive tackle Tank Johnson on Monday.
