The Arizona Cardinals have made significant moves to strengthen their offensive line by acquiring offensive tackle Jonah Williams from the Cincinnati Bengals after five seasons. Following the release of DJ Humphries, the Cardinals are set to position Paris Johnson Jr. at left tackle and the newly signed Jonah Williams on the left side, at right tackle. Kelvin Beachum will serve as the veteran swing tackle. This strategic alignment comes after the Cardinals identified wide receiver and offensive tackle as their top needs, aligning perfectly with the strengths of this draft class. The Cardinals, who currently hold the fourth and 27th overall picks in the upcoming draft, are now speculated to focus on wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. with their fourth overall pick. Meanwhile, the Bengals, having lost Williams to the Cardinals, are scheduled to host former Jets tackle Mekhi Becton for a visit, indicating a move to fill the void left by Williams.

Here's my story on the release of D.J. Humphries and the contract agreement with T Jonah Williams that includes all the salary-cap implications: https://t.co/kN7zzNsmQ4
Wherever the Cardinals decide to play offensive tackles Paris Johnson and new addition Jonah Williams, it now feels like a safe bet they will completely zero in on WR Marvin Harrison Jr. with the fourth overall pick in next month's draft.
A busy night of Bengals news: - Jonah Williams is headed to the AZ Cardinals after 5 seasons with the team - The Bengals have interest in DT Sheldon Rankins https://t.co/OQ9ihttVht https://t.co/uIRor4qlBC
OK, so Paris Johnson Jr. set to slide over to left tackle and free-agent addition Jonah Williams likely taking over at right tackle for the Arizona Cardinals. Kelvin Beachum is the veteran swing tackle.
Shortly after releasing DJ Humphries, the Cardinals are adding Jonah Williams @FOX10Phoenix https://t.co/yyNkd5dqwi
After watching Jonah Williams the past few years as a #Bengals fan, all I can say is good luck Arizona! https://t.co/efJI5ayaX5

Whether the Cardinals move Paris Johnson to LT or keep him at RT, their two tops needs of WR and OT align ideally with this draft class. They currently own picks 4 and 27. https://t.co/FJE4wU4g6f
