Falcons trading Hall to Raiders
Posted: Sunday March 16, 2008 08:27AM ET
The Falcons could be close to trading defensive back DeAngelo Hall to the Raiders for second- and sixth-round picks in the April draft, according to a person close to the negotiations. Hall, who denied the deal was close earlier Saturday, reportedly was in Oakland on Friday to meet with Raiders officials.

The Raiders have been busy this off-season. Their defence really slipped last year. Now if the GrimReaper can end his non-sense with Lane Kiffen, Maybe Oakland can do something in a division which currently consists of San Diego and three weak teams..

Report Offensive CommentNot a bad deal; although I'm not smitten w/ Hall's proclivity for running his mouth, pairing him w/ Asomugha gives the Raiders the best 1-2 CB combo in the NFL.

Report Offensive CommentAnother player that I'm glad my Skins didn't succeed in trading for....bring on the draft.

Report Offensive CommentHall and Asomugh will now be one of the top CB combos in the NFL, plus 2nd year player Huff out of Texas last year as safety, this could become a strong point for a very weak Raiders team.. now time to focus on the offense

Report Offensive CommentThe Raiders defense could be back to the level it was at a couple years ago with Hall. The front still needs a player like Glenn Dorsey to fill the giant hole (literally) left by Warren Sapp.

Report Offensive CommentNO NO NO HEll To The NO. This man is a locker romm CANCER and turns a team into thug nation. he was part of the problem in atlanta not part of the solution. i'm sure the owners and coaches told the players not to do anything to embarass the team... and he didn't listen, and "free vick" stunts were pulled. they wanted to be "bad boys" and instead just sucked and got 8itch slapped and he is no leader. And Warrick Dunn PLEASE.... while you were throwning bobby patrino under the bus for leaving and saying he wasn't "treating you like men"? yuo forgot to mention that you wern't acting like men, at least not pros.
i used to respect warrick dunn.
do not bring this guy into Raider Nation.
We like tough guys, not wanna be "me" guys.
Read the article, it's all about him getting his. I don't want this guy anywhere near silver and black no matter what.
Why is Atlanta so ready to get rid of him, and many teams have already passed?
he's a loser who only cares about himself and atlanta knows it that's why.
i'm not hatin', that just the damn truth !

Report Offensive CommentHall is going from one dysfunctional team to another. If Hall chooses Oakland over - lets say the Giants for money reasons alone than Hall is a dysfunctional person and will fit right in with the Oakland management.

Report Offensive CommentThis one makes me REAL nervous... Asomugha is one of the best corners in the League... If he thought they didn't throw his way last year... Wait until this year... Hopefully Hall brings his az... Along with his mouth... He is definitely going to get alot of action... Hopefully he stands up to it... Got my fingers crossed for us on this one

Report Offensive CommentHall sucks. He has NEVER been able to cover a #1 receiver. If he was half as good as he thought he was then you might have something. The Raiders have a real shot at 0-16.
