April 29, 2008 Unrestricted free-agent veteran QB Tim Hasselbeck has yet to sign a new contract with any NFL suitors, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:Hasselbeck was signed late last season by the Arizona Cardinals to fill a depleted passing corps that was struggling to overcome injury. He failed to throw a single pass during the season. It will take time for Hasselbeck to find employment as teams begin to evaluate their incoming rookies and potential needs are determined. When training camp arrives, Hasselbeck could start getting calls if any NFL passer suffers injury.
May 17, 2005 The Giants are completely comfortable going into training camp with Tim Hasselbeck as their backup quarterback, according to the New York Post. "Hasselbeck was a gift," Giants GM Ernie Accorsi told the paper. "We did not expect him to become available. We have a high regard for him. If he were a free agent he would have been at the top of our list. This is not one of these stop-gap things."
May 10, 2005 The Giants have acquired Tim Hasselbeck off waivers from the Redskins, according to Newsday. He joins Jesse Palmer as the only healthy backup quarterbacks on the Giants' roster.

May 5, 2005 The Redskins released Tim Hasselbeck on Wednesday, according to the Washington Post. The move was expected after the Redskins picked Jason Campbell in the first round of last month's draft.
December 16, 2003 Redskins coach Steve Spurrier said he will stick with Tim Hasselbeck as his starting quarterback, according to the Washington Post.
