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.

Wow, I think Al Davis is insane, first he gives Tommy Kelly a 50million dollar contract, and now this when he already has two solid cornerbacks, Fabian Washington, and Nnandi Ashomou or whatever the spelling is. This might mean that the reports that Fabian Washington was on the trading block might have been right, can't wait to see what goes down.
