Every team needs a RT. We had no RT on the roster. Now we do. Yes, we overpaid for a sub-par player -- $5.5 mil. per yr is about league average for a starting RT, and Hart is below league average in skill. BUT we had the cap space, and this frees us up so that we don't necessarily HAVE to draft an OT in the first or second round.
Put it this way. I'd rather pay Hart $5.5 mil, with the ability to move on from him next year, than pay JaWuan James -- at best a league average RT -- $13 mil per the next 4 years.
Pretty much sums up my thoughts. Nice post
