Chargers Cut Starting Safety Hart

Chargers released SS Clinton Hart. Bolts GM A.J. Smith doesn't make many personnel mistakes, but handing Hart a six-year, $18M extension in 2008 was one of them. Hart simply couldn't cover anyone, loved biting on play-action fakes, and completely lost his confidence. Steve Gregory and rookie Kevin Ellison are options to replace him.

wow the year after signing him to a extension they dump him? damn

[BlueNGold]

Wow, finally! The best news I've heard all day. This guy wouldn't be a starter on any other team in the league. Glad the Bolts finally realized this.

It's either Ellison or Gregory.

Gregory sucks and Ellison is raw.

I think there's a good chance Ellison might start. I expect him in Gregory to platoon out there. Now if we can only do something about Cromartie and get rid of the other half of the finger-pointing duo.

They couldnt trade him even for a low round pick?

I highly doubt there's a market for a 32-year old, mediocre safety who on most teams probably would be a backup safety. Any team that was willing to part with a low-round pick would be stupid to do that.
