I doubt it, too, but this Bengals front office is operating in a manner I'm not used to seeing.  I thought John Miller was a pretty solid player compared with what we've had on the line lately.  His contract wasn't exactly a killer, either.  I was legitimately surprised when he got let go for Sua Filo.  He wasn't a Marvin regime holdover, but a dude that came here at the same time as Turner.  

Hart IS an old regime holdover.  He looked like he'd be a stopgap guy to compensate for Cedric/Fisher being practically unplayable.  I was shocked when he was re-signed.  I suppose he's not the trash player he once was, but I'm not sure he's uncuttable, either.  IIRC, his deal was structured to make it fairly painless to cut bait if need be.

I'm not sure about Williams, though.  He's been banged up and a malcontent, and he wants a new deal.  The new deal part is the factor that makes me question if he's a fit in Cincy.  We'd have to cut some cap to be able to afford that.  If they acquired him and didn't pay him, he's another Glenn waiting to happen.
