Free agent wide receiver D.J. Hackett has left Charlotte without a contract offer.

   Hackett was on his way back to Seattle Saturday afternoon, according to one of his representatives. However, he left without getting an offer from the Panthers. That doesn't mean the Panthers won't make one soon. So far, Washington is the only team to make Hackett an offer, although Carolina, Tampa Bay and Seattle are also interested. If Hackett does not re-sign with Seattle, Carolina is believed to be his top choice, providing, of course, they make him a decent offer.

   "The visit went well, but right now we're waiting to hear from the team," said one of Hackett's representatives. "The ball is kind of in their court."

   We'll have to wait and see what happens, but the Panthers definitely didn't put the full-court press on him.

   In other news, another former Seattle receiver Darrell Jackson has been released by the San Francisco 49ers. That might decrease Hackett's leverage since there is another legit receiver on the market.
