Hall agrees to one year deal with skins

Maybe he'll make the team better, but more Hall will mean less Smoot, and I'd rather lose with Smoot than win with anyone else!

Love the move because 1. you can't have too much depth in the secondary (what happens if Rogers or Landry or Horton get injured?), 2. he's got some talent, 3. he came cheap and with no long-term consequence if he doesn't play well, and most importantly: 4. he doesn't have enough status in this locker room to be a cancer. If he starts acting up or causing problems the skins will just cut him loose and be no worse for the wear. It's not like we just married the guy by giving him a 7-year deal or giving up a 2nd round draft pick for him (see dumb-ass Oakland). If he plays well, we can talk about making it a long-term relationship (and let's face it, he knows he needs to behave because this just became a "contract year" for him). If he's a turd, he's a turd that can be flushed down the toilette with no cap consequence. Good move all around IMO.

Exactly how I feel.

You got me. That's a first.

I just called my brother who is a Hokie, and his initial impression was "Oh no. Problem child at Tech, problem child in Atlanta, and bust in Oakland". Let's hope Hall approaches this audition as a chance to resurrect his career and to remake his current image as a bad teammate.

Well, now that it's done I just hope I'm wrong about him. :/

You almost made me vomit.

You would think it has to. He's a total butthole, but not as much of a joke as Pacman Jones.

Even if he's selfish, you have to think that he would know his career was over if ANOTHER team cut him.

I think the reason they may have signed Hall is because they are tired of seeing Springs and Smoot get up off the field looking like Fred and Grady everytime they make a hard tackle.

There is an interesting paragraph in this article:
ESPN - Cornerback DeAngelo Hall agrees to join Washington Redskins with one-year deal (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3688600)
A source close to the Redskins said Hall spoke with Redskins coach Jim Zorn and some of Zorn's assistants before accepting a contract, and that team owner Daniel Snyder met with defensive captains London Fletcher and Cornelius Griffin to gauge their opinion of the move.
This seems like a great team in terms of Management right now. I like that Danny asked the players, but seems like Hall was properly directed to Zorn. That gives me a lot more confidence in the "cancer" factor.
