Redskins resign DeAngelo Hall to 4 Year Deal

[skinsguy]

Hall definitely redeemed himself this past year. Played probably the best he ever has as a professional - and the fact that he's a former Hokie alumni makes me happy as well!

It's funny though, just about a year or two ago, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who wanted Hall back on the team.

I'd say the last 2 years he's played the best ball of his career. I know he's a controversial guy amongst the fans, personally my opinion of him has been up and down, but no doubt the last 2 seasons he's earned his spot here.

he's been our best corner for years.. I've stuck by the guy thru his ups and downs.. especially over the past couple years cuz we frankly have had no other choice at CB.. dude can play, and shut down #1's usually but he can be a risk taker and struggle with consistency.. he's still a #1 CB in this league but sadly only looks as great as pour defense in the end.

Ive been a Hall guy since he got here, and been arguing his case. I felt like he wasnt appreciated by many skins fans though i agree.

1.pretty solid move,just hoping we can add another solid cornerback than that would give us three solid corners, hope that,s the plan 2.does anybody think we might D.hall to a safety pos.?

I like re-signing him, but I'm also worried about D-hall going back to being a shitty CB once he's got paid. His best year of his career was last year. The one where he was being paid peanuts. In fact, the past 1-1/2 years are the best of his career in terms of playing the CB position like it should.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now and saying I believe he's matured as a person and a player. I don't think he'll slack off now, he's already made a ton of $$ over his career.

I share this concern. It does seem like the financial commitment is not too great, which makes it tolerable. But having Hall as one of our starting CBs doesn't make me think "all star secondary".

But if it leaves room for an impact signing at safety, then I'm on board. The guaranteed $ is the key part in determining how much room this takes up.

NFL.com is reporting 4 yrs, $17 mil, $5.25 guaranteed, $3.25 of it in a signing bonus. That's not bad at all from a cap perspective. That's pretty easily managed past 2014.

Very fair deal for both sides.

Yes I would definitely agree. The low guaranteed money here makes me overall pretty happy with this deal.

If this info from NFL.com is right, I'd venture a guess that the 2014 cap hit will be about $2.5M. Not bad.

This would seriously piss me off if we did this. Why the f*ck would we risk a transition like this for a position that has struggled immensely for years. Thats a dumb effing plan imo.

Your team kinda has to have a solid secondary to begin with in order to pull off that move. At least have a proven player at the other other Safety position in order to mitigate the obvious mistakes to come. We have neither at this point.

Expect the secondary to further struggle if this occurs and safety doesnt play to Hall strengths.

Hall has won me over. Could not stand him at first, but the last two years w/ a suspect pass rush, he's been balling. Plus he might have the best hands on the team. My only concern is can he keep up his level of play the last two years? Hopefully he can. But we had no choice, we had to resign him.

IMO a very team friendly deal, he's made enough money and just wants to play for his hometown team. DH I'm buying your JERSEY.
