Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours

[rypper11]

I hope we sign him.
In watching Raiders games (they usually play at 4 and I like to root against them) D Hall isn't usually beaten but in a bad position. Is that because of the play called, the philosophy or the player out of position? Only the coaches and other players can know.

vinny on the radio show (if i remember correctly) said the skins have a mild interest in hall for a cheap contract, he didnt really give you any indication or anything outside whats been in the papers . . . . so i fully expect us to announce we sign hall to a 5 year 40 mil deal which steeply escalates after year 2 with a low signing bonus allowing us to opt out after this year or next if we want. kinda being sarcastic but it wouldnt surpirse me either.

go skins!!

I dont know an aweful lot about Hall's performance.
but I do know is name.

Name recognition goes far with Danny....remember, we went 2 offseasons without signing anyone flashy....then we signed Jason Taylor....who has done nothing.
I hate to say it, but, it is Danny's history to go after guys with big names that are short on performance.

I trust what everyone is saying.
This is a very educated group.
I vote no....and guys...Torrence aint bad for 4th corner.
He's probably the best we've had in years...easily

Yeah, but he's our third corner. Springs is healthy 50% of the time, consistently.

i think springs will retire after this season.

Our secondary seems to be fighting injuries every week. If he behaves himself, he can help the team with secondary depth and as a punter returner. He signed a one year contact and knows this is an audition that could possibly lead to a long term contract if he does well. He is from the area, I think he wants to stick it out here. He could have signed with anyone. Washington is a favorable situation for him. I hope he makes the most of it. I hope he can teach Rogers how to hold onto an interception.

sorry to be so late on this, by at league minimum, there's no reason not to. you've got crappy unproductive players on the roster (like tryon) and if hall gets douchey, he can be cut at NO loss. there's no downside, and while he's not as good as his hype, he can play.

The thing I don't like about DeAngelo Hall is that he lets his emotions get the best of him. Some players, when they get pissed, use it as motivation to play better. The last time I saw Hall get really frustrated, he gave Steve Smith and the Panthers 67 yards of field position on 3 friggin penalties. I don't want to see that happen to us in a tight game, then they start pickin on him, and next thing you know he's breaking down and either costing us plays through penalties or just by playing bad. His ego needs to be put in check. Because if he ever spouts off the media about how he shut down "insert nickle wideout" by holding him to 10 catches for 122 yards then that's gonna be about as embarressing as it gets.
