Seahawks Sign OT Bobby Hart

[Trackhawk]

Levi Wentz UDFA WR released to make space.

Experienced dude who was drafted in
2015. Started several games for Chargers last year. Not much of a get, but looks like solid vet presence and backup.

Seahawks Sign OT Bobby Hart

The Seahawks added offensive line depth, signing veteran tackle Bobby Hart.

[RehireMora]

He has played right guard but primarily at right tackle. Started like 10 games last year for San Diego.

Hopefully no player got hurt on the oline, to cause this move, but regardless, he is a nice pick up!

 

[jammerhawk]

It's a good depth addition.

JS is always on the job, looking for talent. Let's see if he survives until camp.

Yo they got Bobby Hart? Damn did the Chargers release him? Nice!!!!! Great depth with tons of starting experience

 

[SocialParasite]

That's an 80's WWF name if I ever heard one.

He’s been on a series of one year contracts, since he left the Bengals, in 202, except for 2024, when I don’t believe he was on a roster at all.

Cheap insurance for us.

Moves like this further cement the team as repeat champions

Holy Catfish, since 202? That dude must be older than Methuselah. 2022 LOL

That’s some serious veteran experience!

That guy was a disaster for the Bengals and Bills, but somewhat passable for the Chargers last year. Doesnt hurt to bring in depth, and he's hardly a lock to make the team, but if we need to depend on him, we're in trouble.

Yeah, sounds like a guy who would have played WR for the Baltimore Colts.

Good timing. Rams left tackle arrested

We don't need 5 stars on OL, as us we have 3 1/2, there is room for a cheap journeyman

Chatty's summary on Hart below:

​

Area	Assessment
Pass Protection	Below average but occasionally competent
Run Blocking	Below average
Reliability	Mixed due to injuries
Value Relative to Expectations	Positive
Long-Term Starter Quality	No
Emergency Backup Quality	Yes

Context
Hart wasn't expected to be a significant contributor entering the season. He began the year on the practice squad and was elevated because the Chargers' offensive line was devastated by injuries, particularly at tackle. He ultimately started multiple games at right tackle and became a stopgap solution rather than a planned starter.

The Good
When he first entered the lineup, he had some surprisingly solid performances.
In his first start against Miami, PFF charted him with 0 pressures allowed on 34 pass-blocking snaps, which was a remarkable result considering he had barely played meaningful NFL football in several years.
At one point during the season, local Chargers coverage noted that he was playing well enough to keep higher-paid veterans off the field.

The Not-So-Good
As the season progressed, the limitations became more apparent:
PFF graded him poorly in several games.
Against Miami, despite the team win, he later received a very low overall game grade (37.7).
He battled ankle and knee injuries, which further affected both his availability and effectiveness.
He was part of an offensive line group that struggled badly once injuries mounted across the roster.

The most important ability is availability.

The most important ability is Hillbility.

FIFY

What's the deal with Josh Jones??

Mike's presser comments were pretty clear... the reason Seattle signed Hart is because Jones is not practicing,,, and it's obvious that Mike is not happy with that... which means he blames Jones imo.

Could Jones have reported for OTAs and mandatory mini-camp totally out of shape?

From OTC.com... Josh Jones signed a one year, $4 million contract with the Seahawks. $3 million is guaranteed including a $1.5 million signing bonus.

When do the guarantees kick in?... after he makes the 53-man roster?... right?
