2012 Redskins Free Agency (and Trades) Tracker (Chapter III)

And I wouldn't see the evil of cutting Hall and his $6 million salary, and then bringing him back at 1 year/$1.5 million. It's more than he would get elsewhere, he can still wear the 'C' patch on gamedays, and we're saving more than $4 million on the cap to do so.

Someone would probably pay him more than 1.5 million. Besides.. he's still probably our best corner, which isn't saying mcuh. Hopefully Morris can get him to play to his potential.

My thinking is that his suitors were relatively limited back in 2009 when if nothing else, he was pretty young for a free agent CB. He's still got plenty of ability left, but there's no one playing a lot more cover two anymore than the Redskins and the Steelers (and Bears), and Hall's kind of made himself into a cover two CB. So I'm pretty confident we'd get him on a one year deal if we cut him.

Chicago's GM was in Atlanta when Hall was there, so that could be an interesting angle. I'm not saying I know what they would do either. I just know that the teams who would be interested in Hall would be minimal. He hasn't exactly turned his reputation around since he's been here.

Bottom line is, if he actually wants to be here, and we're going to let him start, then this is the only opportunity he's got in the NFL like that, meaning the Redskins can pick their price. And IMO, they should.

I like this idea though my intuition is a restructure w/ us is more likely because some franchise will pick up Hall on a 3 yr contract.
