On a busy Tuesday for offensive line transactions, the Bills added some potential depth. They signed veteran tackle Bobby Hart.
The Bills signed Hart to a one-year contract. A former Giants seventh-round pick, Hart spent the past three seasons as the Bengals’ starting right tackle.
Despite Hart’s seventh-round arrival, he has spent extensive time in teams’ starting lineups. The Giants used him as a first-stringer in 21 games in three seasons but cut him on the first day of Dave Gettleman‘s GM tenure. The Bengals scooped Hart up and used the ex-Day 3 draftee as a 45-game starter — including all 16 games during the 2018 and ’19 seasons — and signed him to multiple contracts.
While Hart has been viewed as a low-end tackle option for much of his career, Pro Football Focus did give the Florida State alum his highest career mark last season and ranked him 49th among tackles. In Buffalo, however, Hart would be ticketed for a backup job.
The Bills recently re-signed right tackle Daryl Williams to a multiyear deal and have Dion Dawkins entrenched as their left tackle. The Bills did enter Tuesday light on swing tackle options. Hart, 26, would make sense for such a role.
Bobby Hart does best when paired with……………………….
TOMMY BOYCE !!
How is that contract coming along ??
I wonder what he’s doing tonite…
Bad coaching, front office hurt this guy. Bad teammates also. Beane is not putting a turnstile in to protect Allen. He is a rover, like Nsekhe was. Just younger and healthier. With the right coaching, he can be a good tackle. He was rated as average by PFF on a real bad O line, so with help, he should improve. If not, he gets cut. Nice signing. I’ll take Beane’s word on his talent before any fans.
