Uzomah, Hopkins, and Hart...Oh My!

[THE PISTONS]

Overpaid. What's next a 5 year $45 million contract for Ced?

The only good thing I'll say about the Hart contract is it sort of frees our draft up some from having to draft OT. But, RT will be a weakness.

Even if you want these guys...why overpay?

Uzomah - $6 mill
Hopkins - $3 mill
Hart - $7 mill
-----------------
$16 mill of cap space already consumed for 2019.

Yep. Probably only going to spend something like $27 million like you said.

I think I’m most annoyed that the biggest FA we got in Dennard hasn’t been resigned yet.

Most will argue depth. I say lets see what hobspin has to say about why we weren't active in signing impact players. "Have to retain your guys". Hmm, good luck retaining me from not buying tix this year.

I would love to put my foot in my mouth. Not even Wednesday yet, but I fear the worst.

I don’t mind the Hopkins signing. He must be pissed seeing Hart getting more than he is though.

Once we keep Dennard, we will have kept our roster together from last year. Why break up the 6-10 band?

[lone bengal]

I’m fine with retaining and spending money on are own players that are actually good but my god Bobby Frickin Hart. I’m gonna vomit reading Hobson’s article on free agency when he says we spent all our money on our own guys like Hart, got outbide on Dennard and all the good free agent linebackers were too expensive.

You really do not understand the NFL at all.

I'll make a sig bet that out roster this year is different from 2018.

It works like this.

Re-signing one player does not mean that there will be no other changes.

If you don't believe me I'll make a sig bet with you also.

No you won’t because I won’t take that dumb a%# bet. Their first round pick will make the team, guaranteeing the roster will be different. Based on what they just overpaid that turnstile means he will be our starting right tackle next year. Sure they can other players too.

Why not pay for a good free agent lb and start a high pick rookie at rt? I’d much rather see that

Thing is the Bengals needed not just 1 tackle but 3.

what are the gaurentees we can draft a high pick RT...  also why a RT with a high pick.  

And if we do.....  no gaurentees they are better than hart sadly.

Hart is signed as the RT of the future. That's not a one year flyer contract.

After hearing the coaches comments I assumed we would re-sign Hart.  But I thought it might be another one year deal while we developed some draft picks or something like that.  

But we just signed Hart to be our RT of the future.  Right now he is the 30th highest paid OT in the league for 2019.  So he is getting paid more than some LTs.

I like the Hopkins and uzomah signings. Hopefully we can get out of Uz’s contract without any dead money before year three if he isn’t worth it at that point....Hart? You’ve got to be f****** kidding me. I already hate our o line coach. Not impressed with his resume, then their is the character stuff, then he drools all over Hart and we sign him to that contract? There better not be more than a couple mil guaranteed all in year one or that’s just a pathetic deal.

[Socal Bengals fan]

Hart is a horrible signing.

[Okeana]

Hart is in top 10 rt contracts as of now. He was among the worst graded tackles in 2018 and is being paid top 10 numbers
