Not true, he cleared waivers so he is now free to sign a new contract with any team.

I'm not sure I would go that far.

if he comes to washington his bs will end because he will be on a good team with great people. i think it will be a good move because of springs and his 10 hames a year. if they rotate them maybe we get more playing time out of springs

[Skinz4life]

All I have heard this year is how great the team chemstry is - I wouldn't take any chances with messing that up. He's not a bad player when he's got his head on straight but if the Raiders considered him a cancer I wouldn't touch him.

So who would play dimeback? Smoot or Hall? I'm torn. He could either wreck team chemistry or give us a young, talented corner at a low price.

As we hear it, several teams are actively pursuing cornerback DeAngelo Hall, now that he has cleared waivers and become an unrestricted free agent.

We’re told that Hall is talking to several teams, including high-level folks with more than one franchise. One source characterized it as a “frenzy” of activity.

Adam Schefter reports that the Giants, Redskins, Steelers, and Patriots are interested.

As we hear it, the Giants are out, but the Saints are in.

Hall is looking for the “best situation” for him. The factors that will drive this determination aren’t known.

Our guess is that it will be hard for him to get much more than the prorated league minimum salary, but if he can spark a bidding war, he might be able to squeeze out something better than that.

I think this is overblown. Our locker room is among the best, if not THE best in football. One man isn't gonna wreck it. Imagine what London Fletcher would do to him if he tried acting a fool? Or Blache for that matter? Hall is in a touchy spot as far as his career is concerned. If he doesn't want to fade into oblivion he'll straighten up. He's only 24 too. If he shuts his mouth and plays ball we could have a sick corner tandem for years.

Very good pts GM. I still don't think he'll choose the Skins though. If the reports are accurate at least half the NFL is taking a look at him.

He's from Chesapeake, VA, so he's relatively local, plus according to his agent he want to play for a winner. Hall also came out and said he likes our defensive scheme. We have a way of making sure we get a guy when we want him.

I hope it doesn't involve giving him very much money.

I can live with picking him up on a cheap one year deal. Let him come in and prove himself on the field and in the locker room. I have serious doubts as to whether he pull it off, but if he proves me wrong I'll gladly eat that crow.

Doe's he have speed? Yes. Does he have talent? Yes. Is he a team player? No. Will he "suddenly" change because he came to the Redskins? That's the question is'nt it? Hall can win you games and he can lose you games with overconfidence or stupid penalties. I've seen it since he was in highschool and he has'nt changed yet. I guess if anybody can control him it would be Greg Blache. Our D'Backs are a close knit group. I wonder how they feel about this? If we sign him I hope I'm wrong, but I think he'll start out alright then become a problem.

You did a great job of summing up my ambivalence. I don't want to add a cancer which messes with the chemistry. But, on the other hand, if he just needs a change of scenery like Randy Moss did, he could be a big help. The guy did make the Pro Bowl twice.

[DirtyLandry]

Why does everyone think that we're "set" at the corner position? Springs is always hurt, Smoot is average and Carlos Rogers couldn't catch a cold! Hall may not be the answer, but he could help us tremendously... I believe we need a kick/punt returner too.
