Punter Derrick Frost wants security and a little more dough. The Redskins want one more season to evaluate him. And those differing viewpoints explain why Frost remains unsigned.
Frost and safety Pierson Prioleau have not yet joined Rock Cartwright and Todd Collins as players who re-sign with Washington. But neither player has many options outside of returning to the Redskins.

But Frost might have another opportunity soon. His agent, Bob Lattinville, said Denver has expressed interest in his client. However, there is no visit scheduled as of yet.
A month ago, the Redskins made Frost a one-year offer for close to the league minimum. They haven’t budged from that offer. With few teams looking for punters, Frost doesn’t have many options. Frost is seeking a multi-year deal worth more than the minimum.
Prioleau also is not drawing much interest from other teams.
Also, receiver D.J. Hackett will visit Redskins Park on Thursday. A team source had said last week that the Redskins would prefer to draft a wideout rather than sign Hackett. But the Redskins’ offer to Hackett likely would not be for much more than the league minimum. Hackett has drawn little interest in free agency. The draft will be deep with receivers of similar ability. Still, Redskins coach Jim Zorn is familiar with Hackett stemming from their time together in Seattle. Sources say Zorn likes him. He also fits what Washington needs: a bigger receiver.
