Zorn and Skins to pursue D. J. Hackett

After receiving an offer from the Redskins, free agent D.J. Hackett has decided to explore other options.

He was in Tampa Bay on Thursday and will fly to Carolina for a Friday visit, assuming the Bucs can't keep him in town. The Redskins remain on the prowl for a big receiver, a necessity in their new West Coast offense.

What about Dwayne Jarret. Carolina drafted him high last year. You would have to think that they are develponig him behind Musin Muhammad.

except they cut him, cause he's terrible and just got a dui. the NFL is a rough place for most 4.7 type WRs.

I didn't know that they cut him. He is still on the roster on their team site.

I say let's just draft a WR in the 2nd or 3rd round

you're right, my bad. it was threat of a draft day cut and that they really aren't happy with him. that move has not actually been made though. so, i apologize.

Is that what it was? I was about to say, the only person that they announced cutting was Justin Hartwig and before that was Deshaun Foster.

Zorn know's Hackett better than anyone and he has not been exactly glowing in praise of Hackett. His comments about Hackett, or should I say lack of anything really good to say about him, make me wonder if he is worth even signing.

when have you ever heard of a coach praising a player in the public? Parcells was fond of Keyshawn Johnson and got him to Dallas but he wasnt in the media on a daily basis praising him. If Hackett does not come here I do not think it will be because of his relationship with Zorn (or lack thereof), but because he does not feel he fits in with the Redskins.

I know it's PFT, but the 49ers might cut Darrell Jackson ProFootballTalk.com - 49ers BID FAREWELL TO DARRELL (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/03/15/49ers-bid-farewell-to-darrell/)

If Hackett goes for more money elsewhere, which is likely to happen. Should Darrell Jackson be given a chance in a Skins uniform? He was very productive when healthy in Seattle's WCO, and he'll likely have a very low price tag. I'm sure Zorn knows why Seattle traded him away in the first place and would know why to avoid him as well. But this could be it for him if he doesn't produce on his next team, so I imagine he'd be really motivated.

If we can get him cheap, then maybe use a late pick on a guy like Marcus Monk I would be fine with that.
