I'd say if we didn't resign Hall he would be more valuable but right now he's kind of a redundant player. Hall brings the same skill set, size and better playmaking ability but he's 9 years younger. If we didn't have Horton I could see us restructuring and extending Springs as our starting safety but we don't really have a fit for him.
