Not exactly going to cry over it. Might have helped, might have hurt. Seems like a Redskins type of acquisition.

Dan Snyder still going strong.

What? I thought the Redskins had a "proud secondary of all first round draft picks"?

What do they need a corner for?

Kinda have to assume he got the same offer and from a couple teams and picked or the Pats didn't even try.

According to ESPN...
"The New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers were among the teams most active in trying to recruit Hall. "

I never really thought the Pats would get him. Hall did say this summer that Dimitroff told him he wasn't a Patriots type of player and Hall said he responded that he didn't want to play for the Patriots. So whether the Patriots interest was real or not, he probably wasn't going to be all that interested in coming to the Patriots.

Also working against the Pats was it was pretty clear that the Pats would never make any promises about a new long term deal which aparently the Redskins have if things work out. I am sure that the Pats would not commit the type of years and money that Daniel Snyder would off of a half year on the team and not acting out in any way.

Maybe the Redskins will release Shawn Springs as rumored. Not that he is close to what he was, but he might be an upgrade at least as a back up.
