Hall agrees to one year deal with skins

JLC has confirmed it too.

I feel stupid asking this but what is JLC?

Where's the on-field downside here? He's 25, 2 years removed from back to back Pro Bowl seasons, played under one of the WORST coaches in NFL history in Bobby Petrino-even Warrick Dunn had problems with Petrino, nuff said-and then the worst organization in the league so I'm willing to give him a clean slate.

Off the field, Fletcher, Springs, Campbell and other locker room leaders won't let him become a problem.
Totally! Cry for the Brandon Lloyd deal, not this. No workey out? Toss him for league min........more or less

Im glad we got him for a good price and who knows he could be Shawn Springs replacement. If he runs his mouth and acts like a jerk we cut him loose.

Thanks I should have figured that out.

21!!! How dare you


i hope he doesnt but if he does props to d hall for living up to his reputation as a "me first" player on such an innocent decision as picking a number. im impressed, hope the performance on the field is worth it even if it is only just for 1 season.

go skins!!

I can GUARANTEE you that he won't be wearing a #21 on his jersey! Or at least I'm willing to take that bet with anyone on this planet, until that decision is made!

Shaun Alexander was low(no)-risk, but he's hurt the quality of our running game.

Even when the contract value is negligible, there is still an opportunity cost of having underachieving players on the roster.

Shaun Alexander will be on the bench once Ladell Betts returns from his injury. Just like D. Hall will be on the bench behind Rogers, Springs, and Smoot if he doesn't work out.

This is hilarious:

One fact further illustrates just how bad and embarrassing Oakland’s trade for cornerback DeAngelo Hall this offseason actually was.

In addition to a fifth-round pick, the Raiders also traded a second-round pick, the 34th overall selection, to Atlanta for Hall. Well, on draft day, the Falcons wound up trading the 34th and 48th overall pick to Washington for the 21st overall pick.

Now, some six months later, the Redskins wound up with Hall and the Raiders second-round pick, which they used on Michigan State wide receiver Devon Thomas. And it cost Oakland $8 million!

Exactly. Its a bye week, so of course this is the only thing to get worked up about.

But as nervous as we all have been to see Torrence on the field in pressure situations, won't you be a little more comfortable with Hall in that same position? All the talk about how much the guy has been picked on this year overlooks one small thing, he was playing opposite the best shut down corner in football right now in Asomugha.

I think the most telling statement came from Arthur Blank when he said that Hall just needed to grow up. Well, getting cut from Oakland and having the opportunity to play for the team he grew up wanting to play for may be the spark he needed. He's 24, he's been on top of the world (2 Pro Bowls) and through adversity. He's probably our 2nd most athletic corner right now, with Springs physicality making him numero uno.
