I did finally see Ernest Wilford get some hype today, finally. If we dont get hackett we should grab this dude up quick.
Actually, even if we do get hackett we should still get Wilford.

You're right, no one is connecting Hackett to the Skins, but there's still a chance. There hasn't been much buzz about the Skins at all, but the thing is we don't need to go fishing for any of these guys this year. In other words, teams have ways of making it clear that they are interested in a particular free agent before he even becomes one, and that's what sets up the hype. Skins haven't been doing that this year, but any agent worth his salt would know to contact Snyder, if for no other reason than to say he has spoken to Snyder and thereby driving up the price. By virtue of our past spending, we become major players in the choices of free agents without even making a move. So I would consider Hackett a possibility, especially since he worked with Zorn.

Personally, I like him. WR is a critical position for us. At any point, we are a Santana Moss injury away from having Randle El as our #1 receiver, and considering how often Santana gets boo-boos, this is a big, big problem. Hackett's no superstar, but he fits perfectly with the new cautious approach that the Skins have adopted.
