Carolina Leads Hackett Chase

Here an article that was mentioned in the previous thread by Idahoseahawkfan. Kevin Robinson, Hack's agent says that they are high on Carolina.

His goal is to play for a playoff contender and he thinks the Panthers will be that with their quarterback (Jake Delhomme) healthy again," agent Kevin Robinson said. "And he really thinks Charlotte is a nice area."
Maybe this is why. This morning, Adam Caplan from Scout.net reports that Carolina are the favorites to land Hackett. He is visiting there on Friday.
Of the three teams D.J. Hackett is scheduled to visit this week, a league source notes the Carolina Panthers are showing the most interest in the free agent receiver.
A lot of Carolina's interest seems to have grown from the DUI arrest that Dwayne Jarret got this week. He was a high pick last year, never made much of an impact on the field, and is now making an impact off the field. Tim Ruskell has his share of naysayers, but you have to admit, it is nice not to have Pro Bowlers getting arrested for beating their girlfriends(James Harrison) or high draft picks boozing and driving. Maybe Hackett can lend the kid a hand.
