[Whatever]

You don't pay for some mysterious "potential" you haven't seen in 4 years. You pay for proven guys. Paying Hart sends the message that mediocrity gets rewarded, because that's how he's performed. In fact, mediocre is probably much too kind. 

Why would we look at returning both our tackles as a good thing when they were both varying levels of bad? My goodness...I thought we over-tendered Hopkins as well. You'd think this line was amazing last year with how we've made Hopkins and Hart major priorities. 

This isn't about talent evaluation. It doesn't take a football genius to see the results. Our line wasn't good in 2018. 

They probably still will draft at least one T.  We still only have three on the roster and one is a 7th rounder who spent all of last year on IR.  

$7 mil a year is too much for Hart, but unfortunately teams overpay early in FA.  We needed a T badly.  Same with Uzi at TE.  I would personally have paid Juwan James $14 mil a year before paying Hart $7 mil a year, but we don't know what other moves they have planned.  For all I know, they plan on signing or drafting high another T and kick Hart to G.  I don't like the move, but the entire off season isn't necessarily sunk because of it, either.
