Jason Hatcher to visit Hawks

[Hasselbeck]

Anybody know anything about this guy ? Plays on Dallas' defence so that's DEFINITLEY red flag #1 lol

Doubt too many 31 yr olds will sign a prove it deal. Would think he'd be looking for some security. Legs should be fresh as he's only been a starter for 3 years

Wouldn't put too much into how bad the Cowboys defense struggled. Monte Kiffin should not be coaching anymore. The game has passed him by. The Cowboys defense has talent, but poor coaching and injuries really derailed it.

Would be curious to see how many hurries Hatcher has.. sacks don't tell you the whole story.. he could have just been the beneficiary of blitzes, DeMarcus Ware making guys step into the pocket, etc.

If they got this guy, it would totally feel like another Bennett/Avril situation situation. Productive D-linemen on no one's radar but coming off a productive season. Maybe a 1-to-2 year deal at that mid-level range gets it done. This will be interesting.

Except Avril/Bennett were younger, so the prove-it deals made slightly more sense. Still, market might be soft for this guy. We'll see.

I don't think he would take a prove-it deal since he's up there in age and just came off his best statistical season of his career. He'll be looking to cash in, but if the market gives him nothing, I guess he doesn't have a choice but to prove it again, and possibly with the Hawks.

We get this guy, this D-line get's even better than last year. Which is amazing. That said, I think Tate, Clem and Zach are booking a Mayflower truck.

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

This is intriguing no way he does a 1 year deal though but would an Avril type deal work?

Yep, I think it would fit the bill as long as it was front loaded.

True, the Dallas flag has merit...But you need to look at the body of work. Which means that you need to review the games he was in and the potential work he had to do while there. Just a goofy opinion, I know. :mrgreen:

[Sandpoint Hawk]

I want this guy. Our D-line will be brutal!

 

[hawknation2014]

It would be surprising. Hatcher is one of the top free agent DTs this year. At 31 years old, everyone assumes he will want to cash in with a $6 or 7 million a year deal. I think the Bennett signing makes this a real longshot.

 

[Greenhell]

He would be an upgrade in the middle of the D-line.

If he wants to do a prove-it deal, this would be an awesome signing.

My brother, a Cowboys fan, would be real sad considering Ware is gone now too.

Love me some Hatcher ..... Esp if we can get it at the right price. Go front office !!!!!

It looks like MB knows Hatcher, may do a little recruiting. Bennett's resigning may payoff beyond his play on the field.

i like that hatcher can play 1 (when ratliff was out) and 3 tech. i dont like that he's 31. hell, mebane is 29 and some think he's ancient.

If so then take a shot. He is good you know. Let him comPete if he wants a shot. Why say no if he knows the deal?

 

[drdiags]

Hatcher looks to have a number of stops on his road trip

In addition to Seahawks, Jason Hatcher has 5 other visits, per @RapSheet. Superstar last year.

Ware was hurt a lot of the season so can't say Hatcher was able to benefit from the crappy Dallas defense.

 

[sedrohawk]

my brother who is a big cowpatties fan said he is a stud.

 

[sedrohawk]

he said he can play inside and outside and he is a pete and john type player. I can see the hawks cutting clemons and using the money on a 2 yr deal for hatcher.

 

[two dog]

Good idea but I don't see how they fit him in the budget. Can't hurt to try I guess.

 

[jammerhawk]

McDaniel better make up his mind soon b/c Hatcher is a better player.
