LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA – The Washington Redskins announced today that they have signed wide receiver D.J. Hackett and defensive lineman Michael Marquardt. In addition, the team waived/injured wide receiver Roydell Williams.

He was waived by the Bengals before training camp and signed by Carolina. The Panthers waived him on Aug. 6, 2008 and he was signed by the Eagles four days later.
Williams originally signed with the team on May 4, 2009.
