Zorn and Skins to pursue D. J. Hackett

[Schneed10]

The thing I like about a potential Hackett deal is it keeps us from doing something like trading a 1st and a 2nd for the right to pay Chad Johnson $25 million guaranteed. Until this WR need is taken care of, I'm going to feel nervous about what Dan Snyder MIGHT do.

Satisfying the need for a 3rd WR who's worth a crap means we're much more likely to keep that nice collection of draft picks we've got.

Hackett's a guy that has made some big plays, and most importantly, our coaching staff knows him. Zorn knows exactly what he's getting (even if we don't) with this guy, meaning he's able to give Vinny plenty of input on his $ value.
