Eleven-year veteran offensive guard Bobbie Williams ended his free agency on Monday as the Cincinnati Bengals made an official announcement that they re-signed the free agent with a new contract that will keep Williams in Bengals jersey through the 2011 season.
The two-year contract will pay Williams nearly $3 million and the Bengals does consider that he deserves it. Just as Coach Marvin Lewis said, Williams is a guy that every coach would like to have on his team. He can be counted on to be on the field every day at practice and on Sundays and always make great effort to have increasing production; he is one of the most respected guys in our locker room and his existence with the team is essential to the Bengals, who are coming off a division championship and looking forward a better season in 2010.
Williams was originally drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles as a second-round pick in 2000 and spent his first four seasons all with the Eagles. Leaving the Eagles to put on the Bengals jersey in 2004, Williams started 95 of 98 games he played for the Bengals, missing only three games in 2006 season.

Bengals DE Odom had severe injury in 28-17 loss to Texans
On Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Houston Texans at 28-17, and they also lost top pass rusher Antwan Odom as well as some other key players to injuries during the game. According to Coach Marvin Lewis, tests would be held to determine the extent of the seemingly severe injury on Odom’s tendon.
Odom, the top defensive player in Bengals jersey during a 4-1 start, barged into the backfield and blocked Kris Brown’s 28-yard field goal attempt on the Texans’ opening drive. He was hurt on Matt Schaub’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Owen Daniels. He got blocked while trying to get to Schaub and stayed on his back in pain. After the medical staff had a look at the back of his right leg, he was carted off the field and did not return.
The other two injured starters were starting end Reggie Kelly and starting defensive tackle Domata Peko. Kelly had a torn Achilles’ tendon during training camp and is out for the season after having a surgery. And Peko suffered a knee injury in the first quarter on Sunday’s game.
