Hart is a good example.
Last year we traded for the 8th highest paid OT in the league and signed the leagues leading tackler in free agency.
To me that is what made this year's free agent moves such a punch in the gut. I was telling everyone not to hope for top tier players, but I thought for sure we would bring in some more second-level type players That had a history of starting and producing.
But instead we had one of the worst years ever in free agency. And that is saying a lot for the Bengals. Hart was one of the guys we wanted replaced, and Webb could not even make an NFL roster in '17. Miller did start but he was a pretty low level starter.
