It may not be sunk, but it sure as hell is taking on water at an alarming rate and people are rightly scrambling for the life-boats.
Next'll be the Hobson article sucking the team off for this. "Oh, he's young, and still can develop. Plays with passion. Yadda Yadda" while at the same time stating that this move plus the Uzi signing means they're 'effectively out' on remaining free-agents.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of NFL free agency. True franchise changing free agents happen far less often it seems than the other major sports. More often than not it's just too much money for players that are already on the downside of their careers. But spending money intelligently is something I am fond of. This (Hart) sure as hell wasn't spending money intelligently. The contract could have been for 10 years and $21 mil and he'd of STILL been overpaid based on his play both for the Giants and last season with the Bengals. Nothing whatsoever indicated he was worth 1/5th of what he just got, and I feel I'm being generous to Bobby Hart in that assessment.
