[quote=djnemo65;430623]I still think too many people take it upon themselves to proclaim threads stupid when they could just ignore them. In the case of this thread, while this isn't the greatest worded thread of all time, it is the off season and this is kind of interesting. I don't see how the site is not better off with all you guys just ignoring threads you don't like rather than acting like a bunch of vigilante thread police.

Given our crazy trade history I want to know anytime anything big is "in the works."[/quote]

Nothings wrong with poking fun at an glaringly general thread. If he had said, "Jay Glazer said that the Redskins could have a huge trade in the works" Nobody would have any qualms with that. But just saying "Oh yeah, he said that there's going to be a huge trade." We have a what... 1 in 32 chance of that actually being us. Come on now. There's nothing wrong with some harmless jabbing.

And if ST21 is right, then I'm sure we'll all be having a heaping helping of crow.

I just think if people put as much time into their own threads as they did into calling out other people's this place would be a lot better off, especially recently, since about 100 people have taken it upon themselves to serve as de facto mods. I think the best punishment for a bad thread is letting it get 3 responses and then fade unceremoniously into the night. Anything particularly egregious can be locked down by a mod.

But any chance this thread had of being redeemed by discussion was crushed by four pages of lame jokes - I didn't laugh once!

Anyway, who know what this trade is about or how HUGE it really is, but Jay Glazer is pretty on point with his sources so I don't doubt something is up. But this thread probably wasn't necessary at this point. Not without more info.

Re: According to Jay Glazer a HUGE Trade is in the works
 

Just sit back and enjoy the speculation. We have been very quiet this FA season so far, so I wouldn't be surprised. I hope to god Ocho isn't what Snyder is going for. Only reason is that the price tag is going to be too steep for a team with many glaring holes in terms of depth and starting linemen

Re: According to Jay Glazer a HUGE Trade is in the works
 

the only way the hall trade works is if we trade our first (possibly our 3rd since we probably got a comp pick coming) for their 2nd and hall (which isn't really much value). then we change his contract to add a price matching clause and let him play out what he has now.

that way, if he's a cancer, he's on a cheap contract and very easy to cut, but if he plays well, he can be kept for fair market value.

that's the only way i'd really be thumbs up about that deal. everyone knows no one is going to give up a 1st for him. the market's already spoken on that.

Re: According to Jay Glazer a HUGE Trade is in the works
 

thatguy, on talent alone, what do you think of Hall. strictly as a player?

Re: According to Jay Glazer a HUGE Trade is in the works
 

[quote=dmek25;430852]thatguy, on talent alone, what do you think of Hall. strictly as a player?[/quote]

not champ bailey, but there's no doubting he has talent. his size really hurts him trying to cover TO or moss, but his speed really helps on other guys (like santanna or a steve smith type).

he can play, and if his attitude wasn't such trash, i'd have no problems trading a first and signing a new deal, but that's not the reality.

i mean, unless cromartie or some such falls all the way to #21, even considering future success, hall is the safer pick (And he's only 24).

Do you not think it is plausable if we could trade carlos rodgers and our 3rd round pick to get D. Hall, it seems like the contracts could just switch teams, and it wouldn't hurt us, only help us, especially if we get ou 3rd round comp. pick

I don't think anyone would be against that. Rogers was an underachiever before he suffered a devastating knee injury, and Hall is a pro-bowl caliber player. But the Falcons would be absolutely insane to make that move, unless they are going to cut Hall anyway and that's the best they can get. But I would think a second at this point would probably have more value than Rogers and a low third.

Remember last year when T.O lit us up for 4 touches because Sean was hurt? Well this year Sean is no longer with us, Carlos wasn't impressive BEFORE serious knee injury which makes him iffy at best, and Springs is another year older and injury prone. This season we face the likes of T.O. (twice), Plax (twice), Edwards, Housh , Holt, Fitz, and Roy Williams among others. We can't afford not to go after Hall with whatever it takes. My opinion anyway.

his team is willing to trade a 24 year old studish cb on a cheap rookie contract...


and a 5'8" guy isn't going to help a lot on TO or plex grabbing jump balls.

Re: According to Jay Glazer a HUGE Trade is in the works
 

Horrible reporting and discussion.

We hated the feeling of being in suspense over the new coach, now we have to torture ourselves for weeks thinking about a trade that we don't know will happen or if we're even involved.

Yeah, the offseason is great! :D

The Herald suggests that Miami's failure to land free agent OLB Calvin Pace makes a Taylor trade less likely, but a draft-day deal could happen if they pick UVA OLB/DE Chris Long No. 1 overall. Taylor reportedly wants to play on a contender. In the end, the odds seemingly favor a trade being worked out. [/QUOTE]

Before the riots start, I'm NOT saying we're involved, only this could be the "huge" trade being speculated.

Is Deangelo only 5'8"? Also, I personally think the guy is overrated. He's got speed and agility, but I remember watching him last season and thinking "He's the next Champ Bailey?"

[quote=Beemnseven;431006]Just how much of a "locker room cancer" is DeAngelo Hall? Can anyone cite actual examples of how his attitude is trash?[/quote]

I think most people get the impression by the way he was publicly talking about and criticizing his team's coach last season, but by the end of the season, he was proven right when the coach QUIT because he couldn't handle the job.

He does have an outgoing attitude and that doesn't work well when things aren't going well.

I'm not sure I want him on the Skins but he's not a "cancer" like some people say. If anything, he was sticking up for the team last year, even if he didn't pick the right way to do it.

WaPo reports we were interested, but I don't see it happening:

[QUOTE]
As I reported a while back, the Skins contacted Atlanta about CB DeAngelo Hall a few times during the combine, but the Hall talks have not progressed with any team. (His agent has not even been given permission to talk contract with anyone yet, sources said). Many clubs have serious concerns about his attitude, maturity, makeup, and how he might alter team chemistry. The guy is only 24 and has elite talent, but the Redskins just got flamebroiled by B-Lloyd and are no doubt thinking twice about going big for a player with similar issues.[/QUOTE]

He's got speed and agility, but I remember watching him last season and thinking "He's the next Champ Bailey?"[/quote]Every established No. 1 receiver in the NFL can burn D'Angelo Hall with consistency. We do have a need for a player with his skill set (i.e. top end No. 2 corner), but that skill set should cost us roughly a 4th round pick, and 3-4 million dollars a year.

Because D. Hall can run his mouth and alienate his coaches, it masks the fact that he isn't, nor will ever be a great player. He's got better speed than Carlos Rogers, but Rogers is more technically sound and has been developing better year to year than Hall, and some people on this board still think he's a bust. If that's the case (and it's opinional), then how is Hall not reaching bust territory.

Pro bowls are good for nothing except artificially inflating value. D. Hall is looking for 20 mil guaranteed somewhere, and that's more money than I'd be willing to give him in total.

Well the main problem was that Monday night game right after Vick was indicted when the Falcons played the Saints and Blank wanted the focus to be on the game, Hall came running out with some Vick banner (or flag, something like that) and he wrote MV7 on his eye black.

Blank saw that as insurbodination when the whole team had been told not to bring more attention to the matter than it already had.

Hall is an outspoken guy, but that was one time he probably shouldn't have been so loud.
