Hackett Finally Getting Interest

This article from the TBO Bucs report has DJ Hackett scheduled for several visits on top of his visit in DC.

He will go from DC, to Tampa, to Car. From zero visits to three. Good for DJ. I really feel kinda bad for him. He is too good a receiver to have withered away on the market this long. It has become pretty clear that despite all his success the Hawks are going in a different direction.

Obviously this can go two ways. Hackett can be a pro bowler somewhere and the Ruskell haters will rejoice, or Hackett will play 4-8 games a year and it will look like a smart move.

Personally, I think we should judge it more on whether or not the young receivers live up to the hype that the front office is generously putting out in the open. This is definitely one of the more interesting story lines for next year.

Thanks to the reader who pointed this story out.
