The Facts:
Hackett fits the profile that new HC Jim Zorn wants to add to an offensive arsenal that already includes vertically challenged WRs Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El. But that doesn't mean Hackett, who today became the first free agent to visit Washington this offseason, is going to wind up with the Redskins. "This will all be up to him," Zorn said of Hackett. "We're not going to risk it all to try to pay him. The financial package has to work. But if we have a chance to get him, we'd like to have him. He's got two other teams plus Seattle that wants to match [his contract offers]."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Hackett left Washington with Tampa Bay and Carolina on his itinerary with a return to Seattle also seriously possible. Teams are interested in the 26-year-old Hackett because he's a 6-2, 208-pound receiver who runs smooth routes, has good hands and won't shy from going over the middle. Still, Hackett was left out during the first 13 days of free agency and Zorn suggested concerns about Hackett's injury problems (he only played six games last year) last season have been an issue.
