How about Bryant Johnson?

I still like Hackett more.

I will 3rd that notion. Big names are just that, and not willing to play their role. Hackett will play his part and leave us draft picks for other needs because lets face it we have a few. I think lineman are a top priority as JC needs to get the ball to this stud receiving corps we are all playing fantasy football in our minds with. Not to mention too many big personalities will certainly throw our team into a tailspin with our less than experienced head coach.

Why is eveyone so high on DJ Hackett? Isn't he VERY injury prone? What has he done that's so special? To me he's not better ( or worse) than the guys we already have. His only advantage is he knows the offense. No thanks.

He was the leading receiver in the loss we received in the playoffs this year!!!
101 yards I believe 6 or 7 catches!!! The guy is a underrated gem.

He had a good game against us but is he consistent? I think Hackett's been around for 3-4 years and hasn't really had a breakout year. I guess if he's a FA and isn't going to cost much then sign him. But if he's going to cost a lot of $ and or draft pick then I'd say we pass on him.

Well he is just like Bryant Johnson he was overshadowed by Darrell Jackson, Bobby Ingram, Deion Branch & Nate Burelson over the years

Jackson wasn't there last year and Branch is always hurt. Nate B. has been a total bust. The guy that played best was Ingram.

I just want a guy that isn't going to be pulling hamstrings/groins and has some type of history of production. Hackett had some big games last year. But can he stay healthy? And can he be consistent? I'm all for bringing him in here at the right price. But let's not OVERPAY for a guy that's only shown flashes.

I understand your point, but let's be serious about this, the only player that Hackett played behind that could be compared to Boldin or Fitzgerald is Branch when he played in NE. None of those other WR's are close to the talent of Boldin or Fitzgerald, not even on there best day are they close...

His production this year (when healthy) has been very good. His ankle injuries this year and at the end of 2006 are a major concern (he was also out in early 2004 with a hip injury). Not sure if the 2006 & 2007 injuries were on the same ankle.

He's a risk, but this risk is also what will make his contract less. IMO we shouldn't be the high bidder for him, with Zorn here and Hackett's size compared to our receivers, he has great opportunity here and should settle for a bit less to come to DC. If not, move on to Bryant Johnson.
