Redskins resign DeAngelo Hall to 4 Year Deal

[Fiversons]

Good move Skins... Re-sign a solid number one corner for 4-5 million a year that already knows the defense.... Talib and Verner would have commanded a couple million more a year... Granted they have more upside, but other than Sackpo, I don't think we should commit 7 to 9 million a year for one player... We have too many holes to fill...

I like the move. I would rather the team spend the money to keep Rak and/or bringing in a solid Free Safety from free agency instead of getting into a bidding war for Talib or some big time CB FA. I like what I saw in Amerson and I think he has potential to be a #1.

Agree , If we can sign a FS that can , cover , tackle and be the " leader " , our secondary should be fine . Hopefully some of the young guys step up this year .

Yea talib will hit the IR like he does every season. "Ice up son, ice up" - steve smith. We need the Byrdman up top.

I think we're probably looking at starting Hall and Amerson, and picking up someone to compete for the nickel spot. Talib is likely looking for big $$.

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.

Yeah I would def look at bringing in someone to compete for the nickel spot, I personally like Sam Shields. He was rated high as a slot CB 2 years ago and graduated to the outside this past year and played well. Really like the versatility of Sheilds and he should be a "tier" 2 FA at corner. Him and Amerson could compete for both positions, outside and slot.

This indicates the deal is $4.25M per season. I'm dying to see the guaranteed portion so we can understand the cap hit.

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.

4 years, $17 million. Reportedly no money is guaranteed beyond 2014.

DeAngelo Hall to Sign 4-Year Deal With Redskins | NBC4 Washington

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.?

[skinsfan69]

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.

[NC_Skins]

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.
