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.

To that point do we know how much we can actually spend i.e. salary cap?

According to Redskins Insider, Hall is willing to accept a short term deal. I say a prorated 2 year (7 games this season and next season), with limited guaranteed money, but nice escalator clauses if he stays in line and plays well.

I'm not sure what other teams are offering, but I doubt we'd get him if we only offered him a contract for the last 7 games.

I agree with you, Matty. The cost has to be reasonably cheap. I'll say it again, he's shown what he's capable of when his head is right, and he's only 24.

I cannot speak for him, but I have a feeling that he wants to be here.

On a side note, I am not trying to bring up old stuff, but I was against bringing Jason Taylor here. Up to this point it seems as if my gut feeling on JT was correct. Well, my gut feels good about the possibility of bringing in Hall. I agree that we shouldn't dump Snyders estate on him, but I feel that bringing him for a season or 2 to prove himself is a good idea. I am not a psychic, but I can see this working out well for both sides.
