[CM Duck]

[Kilyin]

Kinda surprising.

Edit: Too slow, delete or merge!

Or a possible tie. I'm calling for official review.

Who's going to be the first to suggest we sign him?

 

[thescarface1989]

[Section446]

I'll pass, he's always been one of the most overrated players in the NFL.

 

[Rampage]

I sure hope so and I wish he signs with the Dallas Cowboys....

 

[BruceWayne]

WOW.....wasn't expecting that. How long before everybody starts saying we pick him up

 

[DCBoysfan]

WOW...the Raiders are a real life Madden game LOL...

 

[hairic]

What's his base salaries for the rest of his contract?

That's what the team who picks him up is on the hook for, with freedom to cut at any point with no cap penalties.

It won't matter. Jerry Jones will consult Terrell Owens on whether Hall would be a good pick or not and that idea will get nixed in the butt pretty damn quick. Luckily, that would be the right decision in this case.

Raiders to release CB Hall

Posted: November 4th, 2008 | Adam Schefter | Tags: DeAngelo Hall, Oakland Raiders

Oakland captured the NFL’s attention when it fired Lane Kiffin and hired Tom Cable. Now it is about to do it again — in a far more stunning fashion.

The Raiders are on the verge of releasing Pro Bowl cornerback DeAngelo Hall on Wednesday, according to multiple NFL sources.

If they do — and the team was planning on doing it Tuesday before it held off — Oakland will have paid Hall $8 million for eight games and Atlanta a second-round pick for the cornerback’s services.

Oakland is planning to waive him now so as to avoid paying Hall the $16 million worth of injury-guaranteed bonuses in his contract. It is too much of a risk for a Raiders team that still needs to do more rebuilding.

If Oakland follows through, Hall would be placed on waivers, leaving playoff contenders with the question of whether they should put in a claim for him. If Hall goes unclaimed, he would be free to sign with any team.

Last off-season, when the Falcons shopped Hall, the teams most interested in the cornerback were the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and Washington Commanders. The New England Patriots also have been in search of cornerback help.

Any one of those teams could put in a waiver claim for Hall, but it would be obligated to pick up his contract. If no one claims Hall, he could sign with the team of his choosing.

But this much is known: Hall’s time in Oakland has been brief and looks to be coming to a close. The curtain could drop Wednesday, if not Tuesday night.

Hall in a soft zone wouldn't be a bad idea

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

PacMan and Hall.

What a mess!!!

Assuming Newman comes back for the Skins game we are acually good a CB right now.

Newman, Henry, Jenkins, and Scanderick

Amazing what geting your number 1 CB will do to the depth.

Just what we need. I'm sorry, I can't help myself.
