Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As noted in a previous item, the Redskins offered Hackett a contract during his two-day visit this week, hoping he would immediately sign with them. But Hackett continued his free agent tour instead. After leaving Washington on Thursday, Hackett was scheduled to meet with the Bucs and Panthers. The Redskins would like to acquire a dependable, big veteran wideout and Hackett (6-2 and 208 pounds) could fill that role. ... The team is also interested in re-signing Caldwell, who made timely catches down the stretch while contributing to the Redskins' late-season run to a playoff berth.
