Those are good points about Hall. Seeing your close friend get locked up and disgraced, having your head coach quit mid season, and then landing smack dab in the shittiest organization in sports can set you back mentally. Prior to '07 he had consecutive pro-bowl seasons in '05 and '06. Springs is great when healthy but can't stay that way and is in the twilight of his career, Smoot is best suited as a nickel, and Rogers is turning into an elite corner.

If Hall could be had for a cheap price, it may be worth a gamble for a chance at a having a nasty corner tandem for years to come. Trust me, as strong and veteran as our locker room is, one man ain't gonna tear it down.
