[bigant]

1.pretty solid move,just hoping we can add another solid cornerback than that would give us three solid corners, hope that,s the plan 2.does anybody think we might D.hall to a safety pos.?

I like re-signing him, but I'm also worried about D-hall going back to being a shitty CB once he's got paid. His best year of his career was last year. The one where he was being paid peanuts. In fact, the past 1-1/2 years are the best of his career in terms of playing the CB position like it should.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now and saying I believe he's matured as a person and a player. I don't think he'll slack off now, he's already made a ton of $$ over his career.

I share this concern. It does seem like the financial commitment is not too great, which makes it tolerable. But having Hall as one of our starting CBs doesn't make me think "all star secondary".

But if it leaves room for an impact signing at safety, then I'm on board. The guaranteed $ is the key part in determining how much room this takes up.

NFL.com is reporting 4 yrs, $17 mil, $5.25 guaranteed, $3.25 of it in a signing bonus. That's not bad at all from a cap perspective. That's pretty easily managed past 2014.

Very fair deal for both sides.

Yes I would definitely agree. The low guaranteed money here makes me overall pretty happy with this deal.

If this info from NFL.com is right, I'd venture a guess that the 2014 cap hit will be about $2.5M. Not bad.

I like this too. Now if the contract has a clause whereby each time he commits a stupid late hit for 15 yards that extends the opponent's drive, he has to buy dinner for the other starters on defense, I would be even happier.

This would seriously piss me off if we did this. Why the f*ck would we risk a transition like this for a position that has struggled immensely for years. Thats a dumb effing plan imo.

Your team kinda has to have a solid secondary to begin with in order to pull off that move. At least have a proven player at the other other Safety position in order to mitigate the obvious mistakes to come. We have neither at this point.

Expect the secondary to further struggle if this occurs and safety doesnt play to Hall strengths.
