DeAngelo Hall traded to Raiders [merged]

[BelichickFan]

According to ESPN he'll be getting basically (just under) what Samuel got.

 

[BelichickFan]

Wow only a 2nd rounder

Keep in mind this is the third pick of the second round - the second if you include a certain #1 pick that was stolen. So it's REALLY close to a low #1; a far higher pick than generically saying "a #2".

The Raiders continue to overpay. He's a good corner, but I don't think he was as good as Samuel. Still, with his bad boy rep, you must admit that he's right up the old Raiders' alley in that regard....

Re: Deangelo Hall to the Raiders

So worth it...

I would have been all over that.

Don't get disheartened.

We'll have him in two years when he finally gets frustrated with the Raiders for a 4th rounder and a greatly discounted salary.

Falcons CB DeAngelo Hall refuted an ESPN report that he will be traded to the Raiders.

"Somebody's throwing something out there," Hall told the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Saturday afternoon. Neither Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff nor Hall's agent have returned phone calls.

Re: Deangelo Hall to the Raiders

Good deal for the Raiders.

No. Not really. I live in Atlanta, and as such I am forced to watch too many Falcons games (I don't have the NFL Ticket).

He's WAY over-hyped. I promise you, he was burned so many times last year it was pathetic. Not too mention he's a TOTAL idiot.

They imploded down here last season (ah shucks), but this guy was the Catalyst for it all.......not to mention Vick's trouble.

He's bad news, which makes him PERFECT for the Raiders.

 

[Tyler.Durden]

perfect fit for the raiders :bricks:

 

[patsox23]

Great deal for the Raiders.

 

[Disco Volante]

Some info on the money...

The Raiders must first finalize a contract with Hall that will pay him just below what Asante Samuel signed with the Eagles. This one might fall under the category of "be careful what you wish for." If Hall wasn't happy playing for the Falcons organization, welcome to Crazy Al's Raiders.

He and Asomugha on paper are a hell of a tandem. On paper...

Raiders certainly flashing the cash this month if they give Hall (if they even can) whats being reported.

 

[brdmaverick]

so basically DeAngelo Hall was just traded from one mess to another

 

[Remix 6]

theres a dispute by Hall saiyng he wasnt traded

 

[Brad_Piff]

Asomough hasnt signed tha one year Franchise contract yet. Tha Raiders could take it back if they wanted (tha chances of Aso gettin a big contract from them now is slim) & Aso could become a FA. I wouldnt be surprised.

Exactly. That's the real opportunity. If the Raiders decide to rescind the franchise tag, Asomough would hit the FA market. The biggest questions are:
Will the Raiders pay big money for both corners or cut Aso?
How much would Aso be looking for?

It would be nice to dream that Aso isn't looking for Asante $$, but I doubt it.

Although I would love to see Nnamdi Asomugha hit the streets, I don't see it happening. If he did, there are still plenty of teams with plenty of cap space. He'd still get a big deal somewhere.

I'd love for the Pats to go after him if he did become a free agent. I think he is better than either Samuel or Hall.

 

[PromisedLand]

I had previously said that I believed a second rounder would get the job done, guess I was correct. I never really wanted that guy on the Patriots and never expected them to make a play for him either, but it does look like some of the trades people were calling unfair to the Falcons actually were closer to what they wanted, and people were placing to much trade value on Hall.

I'll say the same thing about Lito Sheppard, I wouldn't give the Eagles more than a second rounder for him. he wants a big contract, too.

Let's remember that all second round picks are not created equal. The Raiders is near the top of the round, nearly a 1st rounder. Ours is nearly a 3rd rounder. To put it another way, almost 2x as many players will be off the board when our second rounder comes around, as compared to the Raiders. So when people say "I would have been all over that", is it possible that we did offer ATL our second rounder for Hall, and ATL is just smart enough to prefer OAK's?

Would take Aso in a minute. At 6' 2' and 210 they might move him to S. The Raiders are trying to move SS Huff for a high choice. 25 years old, 6' 1" and 205 (could add ten lbs). They want an atypical FS (Sanders?) and a high choice? Or Aso perhaps as a FS?
Huff had 85 tackles last year (double of Sanders), 11PD and interception and a FF. He makes $6.43mm (?). This would resolve a lot of back end issues because he actually can cover (our biggest weakness was pass up the middle last year). A second and Sanders? Anybody? No better safety in the draft.
I'd get em.
Your right, Hall says this is all b.s.

I can't see Asomugha being an exclusive franchised player at CB being moved to safety. He is guaranteed the average of the top 5 contracts from this year at CB after Samuel and Hall are signed. He might make $10 million this year under the tag himself. Far too much to be moved to safety.

Besides, Asomugha is the closest thing to a shutdown CB in the league other than maybe Champ Bailey. Teams just don't even try to throw on Asomugha. Assuming they keep him, DeAngelo Hall will be their #2 CB.

 

[thechris]

Good deal for the Falcons.

 

[Keegs]

Good deal for the Falcons.

yes it is.

They get rid of a big-mouthed jerk who is overrated and expects a ton of money.

They get a top 2nd rounder for him which is pretty much a low 1st rounder.

That guy never had a right to compare himself to Deion Sanders. He isn't even close. not one bit. Anybody who refers to themselves as "the best" is a complete loser.
