The Buffalo Bills have started to build some depth along their offensive line. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Bills have signed former Bengals offensive tackle Bobby Hart to a one-year deal on Tuesday. The team went on to confirm the signing.
The Bills had previously re-signed a couple of key starters along the offensive line such as Jon Feliciano and Daryl Williams. However, depth skipped town.
Among those include Brian Winters, who signed with the Cardinals, and Ty Nsekhe, who inked a deal with the Cowboys.
Hart, 26, was a seventh-round pick of the Giants in 2015. After starting on and off with the Giants, he signed as a free agent with the Bengals in 2018 and the follow year he signed a three-year, $16.5 million extension.
Despite that, and a decent Pro Football Focus grade of 66.3 overall last season, Hart was cut in recent weeks in a move that Bengals Wire described as a predictable one because of his struggles.
Because of inconsistent play and the strong starting caliber tackles the Bills sport in Williams and Dion Dawkins, Hart will look to lock up a depth spot during training camp. The Bills’ only true depth tackle at this time behind their starters is Trey Adams, an undrafted rookie from 2020.
