Hall could be an idiot or maybe not. Most of these guys are idiots and I'm not sure he saw his cutting by Oak as a humilitation as I'm sure he believes it had nothing to do with his behavior and everything to do with Oak. All I'm saying is why take the chance with so much money and a questionable guy.

You make a great argument Irish. But I think the Skins are willing to take the chance. You could be right. I hope not. This argument could also be made for many FA's as history has shown. So what do we do? I think the Skins are willing to overlook his past in favor of his current talent. That's the only explenation I have. And like stated earlier he has shown maturity lately. If we offered him less than he's statistically worth and he walked would you be ok with that knowing the talent he brings?

I guess I think chances are taken with undrafted free agents or late round picks not high $ free agents. I would have a problem if he walked. I think the Skins need to learn to "get over" players. As an example Porter wanted big $ so Pgh wished him well and let Mia pay him. Did he play great for Mia, yes, but the Steelers had another great player waiting in the wings who played just as good (maybe even better) at a cheaper price. I know cheaper isnt what the Skins do (and the fans want "names" as well) but I think the organization would be better off if they adopted that mentality. For once I'd love to see the Skins have a guy out perform his contract.

Respected.
