On Saturday, the New York Giants waived right tackle Bobby Hart in the beginning of an expected purge along the offensive line.

Shortly after news of his release, former Giants offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz hit Twitter and dropped a gem about Hart and fellow offensive tackle, Ereck Flowers, arriving at team facilities this week and telling coaches they didn’t intend to play on Sunday against the Washington Redskins.

Gettleman isn’t playing. Clearing out locker room cancers. 👋👋. Made it easy for him when Hart came into the facility this week and told the staff he wasn’t playing this week. 😂. Nice try. Hopefully Gettleman continues to rid that OL room of guys who bring it down https://t.co/fcm9BJPOE7 — Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) December 30, 2017

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan confirmed Schwartz’s statement and added a bit more about Flowers.

Ereck Flowers did the same, per source. One player told me during the week Hart/Flowers were basically already packed and ready for the season to end. Totally checked out. #Giants https://t.co/JNVELCDKzW — Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) December 30, 2017

Never seen offensive lineman demand to not play. And Hart/Flowers have zero equity to even suggest that. https://t.co/ztulvxDkx3 — Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) December 30, 2017

In response to the tweets, Hart took to Twitter himself and immediately fired back at Schwartz. However, he was quick to delete his tweet (but not before we captured it).

Following Hart’s tweet, Schwartz continued to unload on both Hart and Flowers, saying now that Jerry Reese and Marc Ross are gone, he’s going to become even more critical of their play.

I haven’t been critical enough of Flowers out of respect for Reese and McAdoo. They are gone. Now I’m going all in. https://t.co/nl3rfDqi7M — Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) December 30, 2017

Can always tell the character of someone in times of adversity. Here's @IGotHart accusing me of "quitting on the team" when I broke my leg for the 2nd time in 364 days. Played 3 games that season without feeling in my foot, but showed up every Sunday. pic.twitter.com/SNTt7cTsKO — Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) December 30, 2017

Broke my leg in the game I was playing with C-Diff (look it up). I was 💩 non stop for 5 days before the game on Sunday. Was so dehydrated before the game they couldn't find a vein for the IV. Had to call in the EMT. Still played. — Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) December 30, 2017

Ultimately, although he was waived/injured, Hart was let go over his refusal to practice. Had he not been financially anchored to the team, Flowers would have reportedly been released as well.

LT Ereck Flowers is lucky he's a first-round pick and financially can't be cut. According to sources, team was as fed-up with him as they were with Bobby Hart this week. Both refused to practice Friday. Both are injured, but team believes they could've tried. — Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) December 30, 2017

House cleaning is most definitely in order for the Giants, and Gettleman is getting a head start.
