Hall agrees to one year deal with skins

[Slingin Sammy 33]

This move is for depth this year, but basically a try-n-buy for the Skins. Springs won't be here next year so for the $$$ this is a good move. If Hall pans out, we've got a solid CB for reasonable money. If not, we haven't lost any future cap space and can just cut him loose.

Love the move because 1. you can't have too much depth in the secondary (what happens if Rogers or Landry or Horton get injured?), 2. he's got some talent, 3. he came cheap and with no long-term consequence if he doesn't play well, and most importantly: 4. he doesn't have enough status in this locker room to be a cancer. If he starts acting up or causing problems the skins will just cut him loose and be no worse for the wear. It's not like we just married the guy by giving him a 7-year deal or giving up a 2nd round draft pick for him (see dumb-ass Oakland). If he plays well, we can talk about making it a long-term relationship (and let's face it, he knows he needs to behave because this just became a "contract year" for him). If he's a turd, he's a turd that can be flushed down the toilette with no cap consequence. Good move all around IMO.

Exactly how I feel.

If he plays well he'll hit the market next year and get all he can, thats why the Skins had to agree not to Franchise tag him.

Well if that happens then it would still be a win for us. I think he just wanted to leave himself some options and I don't think he will see francise tag money with any team no matter how well he plays.

Maybe he'll make the team better, but more Hall will mean less Smoot, and I'd rather lose with Smoot than win with anyone else!

hover over > that

[ArtMonkDrillz]

Well, now that it's done I just hope I'm wrong about him. :/

I think the reason they may have signed Hall is because they are tired of seeing Springs and Smoot get up off the field looking like Fred and Grady everytime they make a hard tackle.
