Free-agent receiver D.J. Hackett, who played through 2007 with the Seahawks and who is still on the shelf nearly two weeks after the 2008 marketplace opened, might be getting closer to a new deal.
Or maybe not.
According to Adam Caplan of Scout.com, Hackett is scheduled to meet with three teams in three days.
First up are the Redskins, on Wednesday. Tomorrow, the Bucs. Friday, the Panthers.
Carolina’s interest in Hackett could be bad news for Dwayne Jarrett, a second-round bust a year ago who was busted on Tuesday for driving while impaired.

Considering the QB situation in Carolina last season, it seems a bit too soon to call Jarrett a bust.

I think the bust part on Jarrett is that DWI thingy he got recently.

But Jarrett’s failures last season weren’t the result of not having a reliable QB. His failures were b/c he hadn’t learned the offense and wasn’t able to put himself into a position to make plays. If you are the offensive staff who would you rather have out there, underwhelming and underperforming receivers who know the offense or underwhelming and underperforming receivers who don’t?
