Report: Hackett Agrees to Terms with Panthers

Red Robert · 03-17-2008, 10:06 AM

I really don't see him signing with us. I think he will stay in Seattle.

of course there's no details in that blurb, but damn that is cheap! If we offered less, then Vinny is serious about this new approach.

I would imagine there's a lot of incentives in his deal.
thanks for the update

Just heard the same on Redskin radio. D.J lands deal with the Panthers.

I'm semi surprised if this was the guy the Skins wanted they didn't land him. But, I don't know what the contract details where that the Skins offered?

However, it seems to be a reasonable offer for D.J., and IF he stays healthy it's a really good deal for the Panthers.

If this turns out to be accurate, the folks in Seattle & Zorn must not be very impressed, even though he put up some good numbers when healthy. Or there's a lot more to the recurring ankle injury.

This has to be the case. Two teams with direct experience with the guy can't pony up more than 3.5 over 2 years? That makes you wonder really.

I can't believe we were not prepared to beat a 2 year 3.5 mil deal. So we must have offered pretty much the vet minimum...why even bring him in? He's not worth crying about but he would have been nice to have at those numbers.

Redskin Warrior · 03-17-2008, 12:43 PM

Good he would have been a injury risk anyway & that's more money in our pockets

BleedBurgundy · 03-17-2008, 12:45 PM

I may be in the minority but I am very happy Hackett will not be getting paid by the Skins next year. His injuries are too much of a concern, imo. Still, the panthers definitely got him for a good price.

skinsnut · 03-17-2008, 12:47 PM

3.5 mil for 2 years?
hmmm...I thought we'd offer him at least 2.
Oh well...looks like one of the below needs will not be addressed in the first 4 picks
DE, DT, OL, CB.

ouch.

MTK · 03-17-2008, 12:51 PM

The Panthers got a steal in my opinion.

Hog1 · 03-17-2008, 12:52 PM

I would think JZ is on the inside track with this guy? I would prefer them to be to conservative rather than pissin' away more B Lloyd deals

This aint no Lloyd player...nor was it close to Lloyd money.
We may be kicking ourselves with this one....hard to know.
But we may get lucky paying a rookie this much and hoping our existing lines can hold up another year.

I dont see any other possible FA WR that can help us....

I guess we have 2 options now....use a draft pick, or trade a draft pick for a WR....in either case, we are down a draft pick

When I was listening to Redskins Radio at 1200, it seemed as if the injuries were not a concern for us. In fact the phrase used was something like " Zorn and the Redskins didn't even work Hackett out because they were not worried about injuries and they already knew what they would be getting". That is not the actual quote I am paraphrasing what Larry Michael said on the show.

So what is your point?
