Raiders to waive Deangelo Hall

[MiraclesHappen07]

Ehhh im divided on this one. I wouldnt mind bringing him im for a good price, because i think with our coaches we can make him play to his talent level. But on the other hand he has had character issues. So if we do bring him in, we should have some kink in his contract that says if he does something bad or gets in trouble that he be released or paid a different amount of money..sort of like an incentive..

“This is a blessing,” Hall told NFL.com’s Steve Wyche. “I have learned it’s not all about the money. I’ve learned now it’s more about the team. Ain’t all money good money. I took the bait. I went for the money and I didn’t research the situation. But I don’t think I would trade this for the world. Just to meet (owner) Al Davis, to get to pick his brain, to know the kind of person he is and the impression he had on football is good for me to say that I know him.”

All good things for Hall to say. I guess that last line he said about knowing Al Davis could be taken as a jab if out of context, but I think it is a complement.

Im pretty sure that his agent is not Drew Rosenhaus.

Wouldnt it be nice to have a replacement for Springs, without giving up a draft pick, and by just taking a chance? Dont get whats wrong with that.

Alvin Keels is Hall's agent. Don't know who else he represents

RAIDERS OFFERED HALL A CHANCE TO STAY
Posted by Mike Florio on November 5, 2008, 10:10 p.m.

A league source tells us that the Oakland Raiders offered to keep cornerback DeAngelo Hall for the rest of the 2008 season.

But to stay Hall would have had to sacrifice the injury guarantee applicable to his $9 million option bonus due in March 2009 and his guaranteed base salary of $7.5 million for 2009.

Hall declined.

Teams have until Thursday to make waiver claims for Hall. The more likely outcome is that Hall won’t be claimed, and that he’ll become an unrestricted free agent.

There is increasing speculation that the Patriots could be interested in adding Hall, under a minimum-salary deal for the balance of the season. The thinking in some circles is that the Pats would rely upon their veteran leadership in the locker room to influence Hall to be something other than a turd.

And if he steps out of line even once, the Pats would undoubtedly cut him loose.

Finally, several readers have asked us to explain the concept of injury and skill guarantees. OK, we’ll do it. (Insert eye roll here.)

An injury guarantee ensures payment in the event a player is (duh) injured. A skill guarantee means that the player gets the money even if, as in Hall’s case, he is cut.

The reality in Hall’s case is that the reports of “guaranteed” money in the amount of $24 million omitted the fact that $16.5 million of it was guaranteed for injury only.

Thats the latest that I've read about. I think the Redskins' might actually be interested because they did try to pursue him in the offseason.

They were interested when Rogers was still a big question mark coming off his injury.

i'd rather see him in dc than in dallas,ny,or philly.javon walker too.if we have the openings,why not sign them at a fair price for the rest of the season?

Thomas was very green coming in, so I guess we shouldn't be too surprised with him so far. Regardless it's just frustrating. But I think the reality of it is we can't count on him for much of anything this year. I hope he works his butt off in the offseason to learn and improve.
