Hall Agrees to One-Year Deal with Skins

Free-agent corner DeAngelo Hall has agreed to a one-year deal with the Redskins, according to a source.
Hall, a two-time Pro Bowler, was released by Oakland this week and cleared waivers. With Hall, a Virginia Tech product and Chesapeake, Va., native, signing here, corner Shawn Springs could end up playing more at safety. The Redskins lack depth at free safety, and by moving Springs back there, LaRon Landry would be free to wreak more havoc near the line of scrimmage both in the run game and as a blitzer (Washington;s pass rush has been weak and often blitzing linebackers and defensive backs have failed to get to the passer).

Curious as to contract details?

Could not be happier!

Great job agian by our FO. Lets hope Halls last 2 years have been humbling for him, and he brings a good work ethic to the team.

JLC has confirmed it too.

Wait and see.

It's too early to say if this move is good for us or not, however I don't think it is mistake for FO to make this move.. After all it is just one year contract..


It's interesting to hear that Springs might play at safety.. I don't think that would be good news, since Horton is blossoming and continues to do so..

Hall didn't seem be too interested in playing football while at Oakland. The article I read on his performance indicated he wasn't covering guys too well.

I'm hoping he turns into our Randy Moss.

Oakland is a graveyard for so many NFL careers.
