Thoughts on Halls New contract with SKINS

You know I really don't think Hall's deal is that out of line. Not when you compare it to some deals that big name CBs have gotten in recent years. Let's face it you have to stop the run in the NFL East and both AH and Hall do both and Hall should get a lot INT's. To win the east or the NFC you have to stop the run and shorten the field for your O!

Again, solid move. $15 million guaranteed and Hall was arguably the best corner back still on the market. Only thing that sucks is, combined with the Hayneworth deal, this probably seals the fate of Springs. I am OK with that EXCEPT the fact the Redskins seem intent on dealing Rogers to recoup draft pick(s). Does that mean the other starter is Fred Smoot? Dear God PLEASE NO!

Yeah the writing seems to be on the wall for Springs, but I have a feeling Rogers will stay.

exactly. same w/ haynesworth, really. yes its an astronomical amount of money. but the market dictates what is acceptable and this is the state of the market.

Let's hope so because last season should have been evidence to the Redskins that Smoot is nothing more than a third corner.

we spent dans money good that is what matters now go get haynsworth

Time for everyone to pop some champagne, we once again have the off season Lombardi...

I'm definitely more excited for next season than I was yesterday. This defense is going to be NASTY. I feel that our offense was more than a player away from greatness, but our defense was a player or two away from being solid...


We just found one of those players.

Like many of you, I was nervous about Hall last year with his reputation coming from Atlanta and Oakland...but he behaved and made some huge INTs for us, a usual weakness for this team. He proved us all wrong. I'm sold on him now and very happy we resigned him.

I Look Both The Moves Personally. Hall Made More Int's In 4 Games Than The Rest Of The Corners Did All Season. Well Almost. Where Is This Rumor Coming From About Rogers Being Traded Off. That Makes No Senses, He's Under Contract. Springs Is Obviously Gone, Unless Taking A Pay Cut And I Don't See Taylor Here Either Without A Pay Cut. The Only Problem I See With The Ah Signing Is We'll Probably Do What We Do With Big Names And Make Them Do Something Totally Diffrent Than What Made Them A Star In The First Place. Thus Their A Bust And Our Cap Has More Dead Money. Let’s Hope There Is No Collective Bargaining Agreement Next Year And We Can Write It All Off For 2010 With A Clean Slate.

I dont like this deal at all. We paid too much for Hall. Initially, Hall was asking for 16M garaunteed and we were standing firm at 12. Because we waited, and other players were getting resigned by their teams for top dollars, Hall realized he was more valuable than he initially thought and we had to pay too much (in my opinion) to keep him.

Interestingly, on the podcast on espn980, Cerrato said another team (most likely the Patriots) had a slightly higher offer on the table but Hall chose to stay here. Whether thats true or not, i dont know.
