Williams is coming off of his rookie deal, so he is likely looking for a long term deal. Bobby Hart is coming into the 2nd year of his 3 year deal, and would count $2M in dead cap to get rid of. The team seems to love Hart's upside of being a "work in progress" that is still only 25 y/o and now having 5 years of experience as a pro.
Fans like us can easily see that Williams is clearly the better talent of the two, but getting rid of Hart seems to be a hard sell to the team.
Edit: I realize that this is, yet another, Andy Dalton thread, and that a few of us have drifted way off topic in this thread about Andy Dalton. However with all things related to the team being somewhat interdependent upon other actions taking place right now, I kind of feel like we can be excused for this minor atrocity.
Lot of stuff goes hand and hand with what happens with Dalton, so it makes it all understandable.

Agreed that Hoyer is backup calibre, but a move I don't think they make if they were figuring on Dalton. It may really be that Belichick knows he's rebuilding anyway, so he wants to use his resources to surround whomever plays QB with talent.
I also agree they've done Dalton wrong. Not just cutting him, but cutting him when most of the starting jobs are spoken for.
Should of taken whatever they could of gotten for both Dalton and the team's sake.
Not act like all we will take is a 2nd rounder for a QB that would not be here anyways.
Thought they did great in FA before this. This is doing Dalton and the team a disservice IMO.
But they haven't cut Dalton yet so we will see how this ends up. Just not happy with the way it is looking.

Sua-Filo would then compete with Jordan at LG, and is making back up salary anyway.
Would like this, Daryl Williams at RG and as emergency and having Jordan and XSF fight it out at LG.
XSF has played LG way more than RG anyways.
