That's why I said we could've signed someone cheaper. Or drafted another Tackle. Hart himself was a 7th round guy, wasn't he? He sure played like it.

I understand why we re-signed Hart, but I still think we overpaid.

Also I think some of his pay was based on playing incentives.  So he may not make $7.5 million if he just sits on the bench.

Hmm.. I wonder if that's the difference between "cap hit" and "yearly cash"? Spotrac doesn't list any performance incentives, so maybe "yearly cash" is including those types of incentives?

He was solid in run blocking and I think a right side with him and Glenn (possibly with Glenn at RG) would be stellar in short yardage.  

I have no idea about Miller other than his PFF rankings which look a lot like Redmond's.   

Following Ogpoopoo was the best thing to happen in Hart's life. Og was so historically bad, he made a bad tackle look semi-competent in comparison. Honestly I'd like Hart as a backup swing Tackle, at a cheaper price. I just think we panicked and overpaid.

Spotrac says he's making $7.4 in total cash. The cap hit is $5.4. Either way, my opinion wouldn't change. We overpaid the guy.

Among Right Tackles, Hart ranks 7th in total cash and 12th in cap hit for 2019.
