Hall agrees to one year deal with skins

Wait a minute... Westbrook....fights with teammates...lots of potential....underachiever....selfish...not a team player.....man I'm glad we don't sign guys like that to our team anymore.

Funny, since you guys were in the hunt for him as well....


No we were'nt,the teams that were mention were the ones he wanted to go to,I could not be any happier.

LOL.............hmmmmm:food-smil

Seal the deal for now. Hall passes his physical Saturday am.

Redskins Sign Hall, Release Torrence (http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/Redskins_Sign_Hall__Release_Torrence_26837.jsp)

I think this is a great deal and a win-win situation for all parties involved.

- The Redskins get depth at the CB position, getting a talented DB for a fairly cheap $$
- Hall gets the chance to prove himself in the NFL's toughest conference
- If Hall works out, we can consider keeping him; if he leaves for bigger $$ we get a compensatory pick
- If Hall doesn't work out, he's still an improvement over Torrence or Tryon
- Low investment, low risk, high rewards if things work out

I think people forget the old Redskins that would have signed (or re-signed) the likes of JT, Alexander, and D. Hall for big money. We have taken advantage of situations in which we have gotten talented players for cheap, with low risk involved.

Although we sit at 6-3, the team needed to do something different that would hopefully change something within the team to help us overcome these mediocre showings against bad teams and poor showings against the Steelers and NY Giants. Hopefully rest will help with our injuries, and acquiring Hall gives us a stronger defense.

Does anyone know if Hall can field punts? If so, we should give the guy a chance to return punts as well.

He was pretty good at it at VT. Has'nt returned that many in the pro's.

Though it is possible to get a compensatory pick for Hall, that completely depend on the value of his future contract value AND his playing time....therefore, he'd pretty much have to start from here on out in order for us to expect any picks for him.

Other point, how can you possible state he is automatically better than Torrence?, Hall has been burned in far greater volume than Torrence. Granted, he was starting and wasnt playing nickle, but you cant automatically say he'll be better. Agreed, that he absolutely SHOULD play better, cause hes got excellent athletic ability.

Hall has not played well, but he's been playing in a terrible team. Now he's coming to a better team, with the opportunity to prove himself. We're not asking Hall to be the number 1 corner, just to add depth to our DB group. Torrence was an average player at best, whereas Hall is a very talented. Besides, my whole point was that this is another low risk acquisition by the Redskins, that could turn out to be a good situation for the team.

Even when the contract value is negligible, there is still an opportunity cost of having underachieving players on the roster.
