For all you D Hall lovers

excuse me for my ignorance but what was Gibbs's phrase?

The difference is clear - one of these players is under contract. The other is not. One of them is making goundless demands. The other is negotiating.

Rogers signed a contract and is still contractualy obligated to play for the washington redskins for TWO more years... yet he allegedly has demanded a trade. Thats very toolish if you ask me.

Unless he never actually made those demands, in which case he's not a tool.

Hall is whats known as a free agent. He has no contractual obligations to the washington redskins. He is not (allegedly) making threats or demands. We got half a seasons worth of play out of him at a bargain price. He, like anyone would, refused to accept a teams first, lowball offer of 12M dollars. Probably a good thing to, because he will get substantially more on the open market. Hall allegedly proposed to stay in washington for 16M garaunteed. Considering what he will get on the open market, that is a substantial hometown discount.

And the Redskins have no contractual obligation to Hall. And just like Hall and his agent, they are negotiating. If he can get more than 16M guaranteed on the open market, more power to him though.

This is where you lose me BHA. I like the points you bring up but then you say things like this. Do you really think N.E. would pay Hall the type of money you propose? This from a team that said no to Assante Samuel? I don't think anyone here opposes having Hall on our team. But to give him a huge contract just doesn't make sense to me. Why not offer him a good 3 year deal? If he doesn't turn out to be the player some think he will be, then we're not stuck with him forever. If he doe's turn out well, then we can either resign him or Tag him for at least 2 years. Or MAYBE even draft his replacement in the meantime. Having a shutdown corner, which Hall is not, does'nt guarantee wins. I give you Champ Bailey. Our secondary was one of our strengths before Hall even got here. If we're going to spend some money let's get Carey and a kicker in here and draft an OLB who can get to the QB. I think these things will go further toward making the playoffs on a consistent basis than giving Hall a big longterm deal.

Carey resigned with Miami.

Ain't that a B*t*h !

Just some updates for all the D. Hall haters/lovers. LOL.

Redskins Continue Pursuit of DeAngelo Hall - Redskins Insider (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2009/02/redskins_continue_pursuit_of_d.html)

I just heard on SportsNite the Redskins are trying to get a deal done with Hall before Free Agency starts Friday and are offering a contract with 15 mil guaranteed.

I wonder, or highly suspect, whether the FO started to get word Hall will be much more expensive once he reaches the market based on some teams really wanting to address their secondary?

... get er done Vinny.

BigHairedAristocrat spread that rumour so we would hurry up and sign him. :)

how much is hall going for? how much for dunta? cause if i could pick, dunta is a true starter, hall is overhyped (and very very short).

Dunta got tagged, so he's out of the question for us (we only have four draft picks people).
