Hall agrees to one year deal with skins

Ok, you're 24 and already on your third NFL team,yep tells me alot.:nono:


so you'd appreciate that we signed him, no?

Skins confirm that Hall will wear #21 (http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s115/Stevo71/Funny%20Stuff/SuckaFish.jpg)
hover over > that

Strong veterans like London Fletcher and Cornelius Griffen will keep Hall in Check. This could turn out like Rand Moss' move from Raiders to NE. They just wanted out of that terrible place so they started acting out to speed up their departure.
Shawn Springs is not moving to Safety full time unless someone gets hurt. I do see a nickel and dime package with Springs and Landry at safety. Horton can move and play more of a LB position, closer to the line of scrimmage, blitzing and supporting the run.
If Hall pans out and plays to his past abilities, this could be just what the defense needs.

So exactly what else other than the obvious does it tell you?

The falcons where falling apart at the seams, and then the coach bails.

The traiders.....enough said!

If I'm not mistaken didn't the ggirls want to make a run at hall?

We picked up a 24 year old young corner for small coin. That is a local product, that you are forgetting has also been to two pro bowls in his short NFL career. That could have a potential huge upside for our playoff push.

the best thing about this deal for me is that its shows we are the proven winner of the portis-bailey trade. we have the best young secondary in the NFL and the top rusher hind sight is trully 20/20!

21!!! How dare you

Hopefully a stable team and the realization that he needs to check himself if he wants another shot at a long term contract will make him a good pickup. If not, he's out the door. From that perspective I guess there's not too much to hate.

Exactly. Had we, for example, signed him to some 4 year multi million dollar deal, I'd have a big problem with this given his past problems. However, if he acts out, we can cut him right than and there and we dont lose anything. I love the fact that this is a one year deal, and I really think we have a strong enough locker room to keep him fine, and if we dont, he's gone.

I think the one year deal shows the FO has matured also. We've been burnt enough. I just hope the guy can play with discipline within a system and reach the potential he's had since high school. He's made the pro bowl but is that for real or a sign of his popularity upon entering the league? Everywhere he's been, there's been, " yeah he's good but..." I'm tired of it. I hope he is too. Step up Hall.

Who knows if there is any truth to it (its one side), but any way...?

HALL WANTED TO FIGHT A FALCON LAST WEEK
Posted by Mike Florio on November 8, 2008, 11:24 a.m.

At halftime of last week’s game between the Falcons and the Raiders, former Falcons (and also former Raiders but now current Redskins) cornerback DeAngelo Hall waited for a member of the Falcons.

For the purposes of fighting him.

Falcons linebacker Keith Brooking recently mentioned the incident during a spot with Buck and Kincade on 680 The Fan in Atlanta. Here’s what Brooking said, without naming the former teammate in question.

“One of our ex-players, sitting there in the tunnel, waiting on us to come through the halftime to pick a fight with one of my teammates,” Brooking said. “I’m just sitting there as I’m going to the locker room thinking, ‘Geez, man, I mean, I’m so glad we’re removed from all that mess.’ You know, because of the camaraderie that we have as a team from a players standpoint, the relationships we’ve developed with our coaches. I mean, it’s a great working relationship.”

We don’t know which player Hall wanted to thump (or, as the case may be, get thumped by) or why he wanted to attempt some thumping, but it’s a sign that Hall has a long way to go before he’ll persuade the Redskins to give him a long-term deal.

Then again, maybe he is changing. Consider this quote from a Friday appearance on Sirius NFL Radio with Bruce Murray and Carl Banks. When asked how bad things are in Oakland, Hall said this: “I’m still a firm believer in they’re really not that bad. It was definitely unfortunate the way things worked out for me but I still don’t think it’s a bad place. I still think they’re going to somehow get it turned around. I’ve got a lot of respect for Al Davis. He talked to me like a man, told me I was the last one to come so I’m the first one to go. And I respect that. Gave me the opportunity to go where I wanted to go and that’s all I can ask for.”
