If the drafting of three offensive linemen wasn't a signal that the Patriots did not intend to re-sign Svitek, then perhaps when the Pats gave his number 74 away should have told him it was time to find a new employer.

And in case you were wondering, Miguel has the lowdown in regards to a possible compensatory pick for losing the free agent.

The Bengals signed career veteran backup tackle Will Svitek Wednesday as they continue fortify their depth along the offensive front for training camp.
They also announced the deal with rookie cornerback Victor Hampton of South Carolina and then released two to make room on the 90-man roster, linebacker Bruce Taylor and cornerback Brandon Burton.
The 6-6, 310-pound Svitek joins first-year Chandler Burden as tackles signed in the last week. Burden is seen as more of a guard while Svitek has played most of his 74 NFL games with three teams at tackle.
Svitek, 32, a sixth-round pick of the Chiefs out of Stanford in 2005, played his first three seasons in Kansas City, then four with the Falcons and made two starts with the Patriots last season.

If the Pats want Andre Carter, Austin Collie, and Will Svitek to count in the compensatory pick calculation after June 1, the Pats had to make them a tender offer of 110% of their 2013 cap number.
