IMO I'm on the fence with this one. Semi glad we have the youth, but wow that's an overpayment IMO.
Thoughts?

Hall returns to Skins with $54M deal
The Redskins reached an agreement Friday morning to keep cornerback DeAngelo Hall, and made him one of the highest paid cornerbacks in football an NFL source said.
Hall accepted a six-year $54 million deal that included $22.5 million in guarantees. The payout of the deal includes $30 million over the first three years.
His agents -- Alvin Keels and Joel Segal -- were ready to explore the free agent market, but the Redskins stepped up and made an offer valued at $9 million per year. The Skins had been at $8.5 million earlier in negotiations, but apparent interest from other team forced Washington to up their offer. |
I get the feeling that it was either paying a lot for Haynesworth or paying a lot for Hall. I rather pay a lot for Hall, he's young, lots of potential, already on the team, and paired with Rogers they make a sick CB tandem.
