Zorn and Skins to pursue D. J. Hackett

[89moss89]

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

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.

Let me just digress for a moment here and say that all PFT did there was cite NFL Network's Adam Schefter. This isn't a PFT originated story.

So that's an example of PFT being good as a portal of information, but it shouldn't be confused with PFT taking the lead on going out there and scooping stories.

They made him an offer and he didn't immediately accept. That's not the same as saying he rejected the offer.

He wanted to visit Tampa and Carolina as well, weigh all the offers and then give Seattle a chance to match.

All that article says is that he went to other teams to get interviewed, doesnt even mention him not taking the offer.
