The first year he is making 7.4, which means on the backside incentives aside his base pay is 4.3 (in line with the current back up market). This deal signals to me we will be taking a tackle in this draft but it could be a round 2 or 3 tackle that may need one year to take over. I could see a guy like Tytus Howard from Alabama State who has looked good leading into the draft but still may take a year to adjust to the level of competition in the NFL.
Hart got current market value for a below average starting T in the current FA market. Juwan James, a solid but not great RT, just got $13 mil a year. To put that in perspective, Earl Thomas is looking for $14 mil a year. It's just the current cost of doing business. If gas goes over $3/gallon, it's ridiculous too, but what are you going to do, take the bus?
