As far as the Hart signing and possibly bringing this Mills guy in?  I would rather have a couple of bad/mediocre experienced guys to start the season than signing no one and going into camp with ONE OT (Glenn) and a couple rookies.  Everyone seems to forget that we had no other true OTs on the roster except Glenn.  That would not be a very wise move in my opinion.  Also, if someone does beat out Hart then it costs $5.5 million in dead money.  5.5 mil is middle of the road for a RT and most below him are on rookie contracts.  I think they overpaid a bit but not as much as this board has overreacted like they did.

I think people would have been more ok with Hart if he was signed for less money.

Also, if we added a couple Tier B free agents that clearly upgraded spots like LB and Guard then fans would be more accepting of Hart. But, man right after we could start negotiating with free agents hearing the 3 years up to $21 million number was kind of like a dagger to hopes that things changed in a big way.
