Skins in early contract talks with Hall to keep him in DC

[Skins4L]

LOCK EM UP. Hes a special player. We need somebody to INT the ball. Im a big fan of Carlos Rogers BUT.. Carlos will knock it down...thats fine...sometimes....but Hall will take it away.

[Skins4L]

...of course with the re-signing of Hall it would put more pressure on Carlos for the starting spot. But who knows how many game Shawn Springs will play next season and theyre both extemely valuable. Rogers is a great man to man CB and im glad to have him in the secondary.

Carlos could be good trade bait this year,......just think his value hasn't been higher since the draft, so maybe moving him, getting rid of some of those big contracts, springs, washington, ARE, ect. we could be making a move for a couple of draft picks,...maybe a 2nd and 4th, possible 5th with Rogers. just a thought?

why would we want to trade him? good cover corners are hard to find. and Los easily had his best season as a redskin. if anyone has to go, its smooty. cant cover my grandma( and she has been dead for 10 years)

I agree Springs is the weakest link. Sign Hall and keep Carlos. IMO

Definitely. While Springs is the best of all of our corners; he's big and physical and can shut down TO type receivers about as well as anyone, he just can't stay healthy, and he's getting old which even furthers his risk. It's great to have him around, but he's just not worth the cap space.

[MTK]

So if we cut Springs and trade Carlos, who the hell is going to play corner next year? Hall and Smoot? I'm not sure it would be wise to get rid of both of them, then all of a sudden corner is a huge need.

You need at least three good CB's to be successful in the NFL. We only have three good ones:
1) Springs
2) Hall
3) Rogers

All of our other CB's are not good enough. We would suffer a serious drop off in the level of play if Smoot or any of the other CB's were forced into action.
Drafting a strong CB would require a top 15 pick. We have too many other needs to be creating a CB need.
So please stop the trade and get rid of Springs & Rogers.

I agree, we have 3 very good cover corners. Many have said we need to get rid of springs, I think this will be a major mistake. When healthy he is the best corner we have. He covers whoever we put him on and does it without help over the top. We need to look at restructuring his deal and bring him back.

I agree that Springs is our best corner. When healthy he is one of the best in the NFL. I just hope if we keep him and pay him 6Mil next year, he can at least start 12 or more games for us. If he restructures that would be fine, but I haven't seen anything that would show he would be willing to since he has refused in the past. Maybe he'll have a change of heart, but I would'nt count on it. I wish he would.

[PurpEagle_AUTiger]

DAMN RIGHT!!! I say give him 5 years 25mil... Crazy incentives... If he gets 5+ interceptions... give him another 2 mil.

[redsk1]

I find it concerning that everywhere he's been he's been part of the problem. He's been called a cancer and has had attitude issues going all the way back to VA Tech. Of course, he's being a model citizen now, but for obvious reasons...money. Do an overwhelming majority like signing this guy to a long term contract? That's what it looks like. I guess all that stuff we spew about the Boyz signing malcontents w/ attitude issues is thrown out the window when it's "our" guy. Now D Hall is no where near Adam Jones or anything but he is a malcontent. People change, right?

Don't sign Hall. Go after someone else. You don't want someone who is a terrible team guy on the skins.

Hey, if we do, I'll be rooting for him to keep his act together and perform. I'm just not optimistic based on past behavior.

[The Goat]

Jeez. How often do we hear guys say they want to wear the B & G? Rock says it and people love him for it - Hall says it and somehow it doesn't mean jack? Certainly we'll see what Hall is really about as the negotiations proceed but can we at least give the guy a chance. And let's put his past to rest. The Falcons were a nightmare until this year (indeed they're one of the best stories of '08) and the Raiders... c'mon.

[Eknox]

This move is just common sense
