[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;726932]well, now that he's a free agent, he has the chance of going to whatever team he wants - if there are any that are interested. If not, he won't be getting paid $300,000 for doing nothing, which is what would have happened if he had been cut outright.

as far the skins looking bad in this, they probably do to a lot of people. but theres no way the skins did this move just to save 300k. [B]they did it to alert the NFLPA to the loophole that can be used to the leagues advantage in the next CBA.[/B] Sure it sucks for the palyers that they had to be used in such a way, but if it ensure that the greedy players union doesnt get as much in the next CBA, i'm all for it.[/quote]

Yeah, I don't think there was any sort of motive like that. I don't think they were trying to send a message or warning. I think they both saw the opportunity to make a trade that was beneficial to both parties and so they made the trade

Did the Skins [B]bend[/B] the rules? Yes.

Did the Skins [B]break[/B] the rules? Maybe - - still to be determined.

Is this a big deal? Probably not now - - but it could become a big deal in the new CBA negotiations.

This was a pretty stupid move. If you're going to do something like that then at least wait a week. Hall should get a settlement of some kind.
