Does halls deal rank in the top 5 thus increasing the franchis tag value of Asomugha? If so he better acceept it before the renounce it.
Probably, if Hall signs for 70 mill over 7 years thats 10 mill a year and it probably is top 5 money. Raiders having Hall and Asomugha, that is probably one of if not the best cornerback duo in the NFL.

I remember hearing John Clayton last week saying that before the Hall trade the Raiders were 19 Million OVER the cap. They're going to have to start restructuring or cutting pretty soon.
Even with all the money they have been throwing around, I think they will be able to keep Asumugha at least for one year. He is their franchise player and probably will make about 7.5 mill and I don't think they will release him. Even if Hall is making 70 mill over 7 years, it probably will be structured in a way to keep the cap hit low this year and increase every year.
And teams will still be able to throw on them, if the immortal Tommy Kelly and his D-Line crew don't generate consistent pressure. There's a reason why Belichick/Pioli don't invest that kind of money in CBs
Ive read that Hall with Oakland pretty much ensures that the Raiders will now draft Darren McFadden with their 4th pick, and Id agree with that opinion. They could probably go Oline, but McFadden's speed at that position is rare, and Davis will probably gamble with the rest of the package(or baggage, depending on you look at it).
But my God, these guys are spreading the money around like theyve got a tree out back. And its going to be cool to see what all this money and these moves means next season because the West is definitely on the schedule. Hall specifically is one of the few corners out there with a reasonable chance of matching up with Moss. He's also the kind of guy Moss has historically torched because the D scheme will leave him 1on1 without help. Gonna be fun to watch that matchup when the time comes.
But regarding the draft impact, Oakland's drafting McFadden would eliminate one key trade scenario that could have helped the Pats move down and out of that spot. Basically if Oakland drafts McFadden, that slim opportunity to acquire those 2 Dallas first-rounders for a move up to 7 is gone.
