Most of the big free agents have come and gone but one of the best players is still on the market and nobody is talking about him. In fact he wasn't even one of the top 3 talked about players at his position. That player is Seahawks wide receiver D.J. Hackett.
Hackett is a 6'2 208 pound receiver who has played 4 seasons in the NFL. He was originally drafted by the Seahawks in the 5th round in the 2004 draft. Hackett became one of Matt Hasselbeck's favorite targets in his time in Seattle. Even though Hackett only played 6 games last year, he still managed to have 32 catches for 384 yards and 3 touchdowns last season. For his career, Hackett has 105 career catches for 1394 yards and 9 touchdowns.
Hackett would fit well with many teams that need receiver. The Bucs and Redskins are both very interested in his services and the Bills and Eagles would be good fits. Hackett with his size could also bring a redzone target that teams crave and he should be cheaper than spending a first rounder on a receiver who hasn't proven anything. Plus Hackett is only 26 years old which is younger then receivers such as Donte Stallworth and Randy Moss who commanded big money in the offseason. Hackett should make an immediate impact in any offense the only question is what team wants him the most.
