Re: Zorn and Skins to pursue D. J. Hackett
 

[quote=freddyg12;431647]I believe the Bucs still have a lot of cap space. He'd be a good fit there & if Gruden likes him, I see them paying him the most he can get. They have a pretty big need at wr too.[/quote]

Very true freddy.

If he leaves DC without a deal....and lands in Tampa with the cash they are spending and have to spend, also have a need at the position. I'll be very surprised if that isn't his new home.

Re: Zorn and Skins to pursue D. J. Hackett
 

I agree with you guys....pretty much between the skins and tampa....
I dont see Carolina as a "playoff contender with a good qb"

In my opinion, if we dont get him today, Tampa will get it done.
And.....no way this guy gets a 10 mil signing bonus.

Hopefully we offer him something like 4 year 12 mil with a 3.5 Mil signing bonus....with a bunch of performance stuff to assure his injury potential doesn't haunt us.

Is this a reasonable amount for this guy?
Am I far off on his value?
Opinions?

Re: Zorn and Skins to pursue D. J. Hackett
 

Remeber, Randel El signed a 7 year 31 Million deal with 11 Million in signing bonuses over the life of the deal....thats more than 4 mil a year for a guy the Skins thought would be a legitamate #2 with no injury risk + special teams ability.

I'm thinking this guy could make as much as 5 mill a year but 3.5 would be more likely...
I dont know if I want him for more than 3 or 3.5/yr

Re: Zorn and Skins to pursue D. J. Hackett
 

I think the Skins are in a position where they are holding all the cards. For the first time since I can remember they are entertaining a free agent which they don't need to sign.

They can:

- Draft an impact WR in the first few rounds
- See if Mix is the man
- Wait to see if a big WR becomes availiable via trade
- SIgn Hackett to a reasonable deal

It's nice for a change

I'd like to see us get something done with him, but it appears we're not "breaking the bank" for him (which is a good thing). Hopefully he and Skins have a gentleman's agreement to give the Skins an opportunity to match any offer he gets from Tampa.

How do you know he left for Tampa?

In the link, third paragraph, it mentions "Hackett departed Redskins Park on Thursday afternoon. He was expected to travel to Tampa Bay to visit with the Buccaneers..."

Only if he liked the vibe he got from VC and DS. If we aren't throwing money at FAs anymore (which I like), it will be interesting to see where we really stand in the eyes of FAs.

Re: Zorn and Skins to pursue D. J. Hackett
 

According to [URL="http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/"]PFT[/URL], Hackett got an offer from the Redskins, rejected it, and moved onto Tampa Bay.

Wow a free agent rejected a Redskins offer, he must have been kinda pissed that we werent throwing him a 7 year 35 million dollar deal.

this is the other side of being fiscally responsible. everybody on this board would play for the Skins for a nickel, but if we aren't throwing cash around anymore, a lot more FAs are going to enjoy their plane ride and dinner, and then move on.

I'm not even sure that we fired up Redskins1 for Hackett.
