I wouldnt consider any other FA on long term deals.

You have to remember the Laron situation as well, I think you deal with that before you deal with Hall. I certainly wouldnt go expensive, long term with Laron, but he has a very high ceiling compared to the other FA at this point. The draft is limited at safety this year, but you could find a mid round value.

I would imagine of all the defensive positions the Redskins are likely to draft at, corner and safety are among the most likely.

There are about nine guys on that list at the top (eight minus Rogers) who would be intriguing options opposite Josh Wilson, and about half this list would be a nice upgrade over what Hall offers. For six million dollars of used cap space, that is:
