The
Atlanta Falcons have reached an agreement in principle with the
Oakland Raiders to trade cornerback
DeAngelo Hall for the Raiders' second-round pick in the 2008 draft, pending the Raiders finalizing a contract with Hall, according to a source close to the Falcons.
Hall is close to agreeing to a contract with the Raiders that will pay him just below what
Asante Samuel signed with the
Eagles, according to the source. Samuel signed a six-year deal worth a reported $57 million, with $20 million guaranteed.
Hall is a former first-rounder taken with the eighth pick in the 2004 draft.
