Oakland Raiders trade for DeAngelo Hall

The Raiders (with the newly added Hall, CB Nnamdi Asomugha, and S Michael Huff) now have the best secondary in all of football:

The Atlanta Falcons have reached an agreement in principle with the Oakland Raiders to trade cornerback DeAngelo Hall for the Raiders' second-round pick in the 2008 draft, pending the Raiders finalizing a contract with Hall, according to a source close to the Falcons.

Hall is close to agreeing to a contract with the Raiders that will pay him just below what Asante Samuel signed with the Eagles, according to the source. Samuel signed a six-year deal worth a reported $57 million, with $20 million guaranteed.

Obviously, the Colts couldn't make this trade. So, I'm not mad or anything that Polian didn't trade for Hall. Giving him Samuel money is a joke. If Al Davis weren't an idiot, this team would be very competitive next year, because they have a ton of talent on defense. Check out Silver and Black Pride for more details.

Not quite done yet
but looks likely. PFT and Rotoworld are citing an Atlanta newspaper where Hall denies anything is done:

But if the report that he'll get just below Samuel money is correct, Hall would be a fool not to work it out. A lot of free agent money has already been spent and not a whole lot of teams are willing to break the bank for a head case. He ought to be thanking his lucky stars that Al Davis has no fucking idea what he's doing anymore.

Hall money
There were people calling for bringing Hall to the Colts...no way does he seem to have the character desired by the Colts, nor do we need to spend the crazy money the guy appears to be wanting.  His comments in the AJC article scream, "It's all about me!" which isn't exactly what the Colts tend to look for in a player.

Looks like it's going through
Hall was a complete headache off the field and an above average corner on it, but I think the Raiders have overpaid.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

They call me Dave the Falconer, because that's what I tell people to call me.
