For what?  Our oline gets weaker so we can just be further under cap this year..makes zero sense to cut him.

5 million isn't cheap for a backup...and again...I'm not saying what I want to happen, I'm saying what I think will happen. The coaches are high on Hart. Taylor and Turner have gushed over him. The front office thought enough of him to pay him $7.4 million this season. You look at those things and combine it with the fact that Hart has plenty of NFL experience at RT while Boling has none (and won't be able to practice) and the logical conclusion is that Hart probably has the edge over Boling.

Now if you want to say Boling will take his usual spot at LG, then that puts the pinch on Cordy Glenn. This is why I think one of either Glenn or Boling will get cut.

4 OTs allowed 10+ sacks last year:
Kolton Miller ® 16
Julie'n Davenport 12
Brandon Parker ® 10
Bobby Hart 10

Also had 11 penalties. Oof.

I'm definitely no fan of Hart, but it sure seems like people that matter are.
