Hall agrees to one year deal with skins

I know this is an odd question, but if he does not sign with us next year, does that mean we get compensatory picks for him if he signs a huge contract some where else? If so, thats just another great reason we signed him. Even without that, it is a no lose situation only costing us $492000.

I am wary about this guy...but one thing that makes me think this might work out is that NE wanted him....I am still unsure of our front office, but we all know NE front office is solid...so....this may just work out....I will cross my toes... not my fingers, those are for Erasumus James, not the other fingers, that is for Alexander, not the other toes, that is for Jason Taylor, not every hair left on my head....those are for all of our draft picks...
odds are, someone eventually will pan out, look at horton!

Let's hope D. Hall doesn't = Pacman or TO.

i heard carlos rogers on comcast and he said that he thought that hall was gonna have it rough finding playing time.now i'm sure that coach blanche would not have wanted him to be signed,zorn either if he were just gonna ride the pine.i can see him playing a lot more just for the fact of letting landry blitz more and from different parts of the field.
i also think that redskins have enough leaders to keep hall's ego in check.all he needs is one screw up for fletcher,taylor,portis,or moss to crawl his ass so bad he'll never do it again.

Excellent question and I think you may be right.
If we lose him to free agency to a major contract, I am pretty sure that puts us in line for one of these picks based off of the value of his new contract and playing time....I just dont know if they will knock that down that pick because he is only with us for half a year....I sure hope not...that would be a screaming deal..

Question:
If Hall pans out, is there any way the Skins can afford to keep Springs, Smoot, Rodgers and Hall next year, while extending both Hall and Rodgers?



Rogers isn't going anywhere. And Springs may not be here next season anyway.

I also don't know that Fred Smoot is a shoe-in for the team next year.

If Hall pans out, they'll find a way to keep him.

I'm thinking it will be an either or between Hall and Springs based on what happens the rest of this season.

I'm also thinking we'll be better off if we extend Springs than if we extend Hall. But that doesn't necessarily mean we shouldn't extend Hall, if he proves to be more valuable than Springs. Obviously Springs is only valuable when he's on the field.

Tryon has played in dime packages the last two weeks, and he's only been thrown at once, so apparently other O Coordinators don't think he's as useless as Redskins fans do.

Its more likely to make a decision between Hall and Smoot.
Hall is certainly no competition for Springs or Rodgers at this point.
I just think if we had all 4 that we'd be able to survive pretty well.
The way I see it is we have a #1 (springs), #2 (rodgers could develop into a #1), #3 (smoot), #3 (hall could develop into a #1 talent after 2 years of grooming)

So if we could keep Springs for a couple years, either Rodgers or Hall could be a legit #1 by then...Smoot is a valuable nickle back with a great redskins attitude....kinda like the Thrash of the d...we need to keep him just so we can yell....SMOOOOOT!

This is all upside, We did'nt pay him anything and don't need him. When he realizes that he will have to work hard and if he does our db depth will be amazing. If it works out we
're littered with early round talent. Could be great.
