NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Raiders are on the verge of releasing CB DeAngelo Hall.Stunning. The Raiders parted with a second round pick and $8 million dollars for the opportunity to play Hall for half of one season. Oakland doesn't want to risk paying $16 million in injury-guaranteed bonuses, so Hall is expected to be placed on waivers shortly. It's doubtful that any team would take on that contract, so "Big Hat, No Cattle" could end up signing with the team of his choice. Source: NFL.com

I hope Oakland re-signs him after they release him and give him even MORE in guarentees.

That's about the only thing I wouldn't be surprised to hear coming out of Oakland nowadays ...

I certainly don't watch enough Oakland football to be sure, but I'm not sure what happened here. Deangelo is overrated, but he's certainly not mid-season, blow your cap wad bad. Something else is going on here.

I've seen the man play enough to know that much. Is he trying to get out, perhaps? Odd way to go about it...

 
Would be interesting to pair him up with Revis - another signing in a long list this season for the Jets. But I don't want a malcontent ruining what seems to be a gelling team. Not that that would happen.

True, but they are creative. Not going to happen, just thinking out loud.
 
ProFootballTalk cites a league source who claims the Raiders will continue to purge as many as 15 players before next season.

The source believes Javon Walker and Tommy Kelly will highlight that purge, with the idea being to throw that money at Nnamdi Asomugha for a long-term deal. If the Raiders are willing to cut ties with DeAngelo Hall because of injury and contract concerns, it makes sense that Walker will be the next "name" player to go.

Please cut him. Anywhere has to be better than there.
 
Take it from an ATL homer. DeAngelo Hall is over-rated and a cancer in the club house. He is NOT about the team.

Any team that would sign him, is asking for trouble. And to watch him get burnt on a regular basis.

KUDOS to Arthur Blank for getting rid of the guy!

it doesn't matter who is lined up opposite Nnamdi Asomugha...teams will still throw to the right side (for offense) since Asomugha is not there. Last year, Routt, Fabian Washington got lit up and now D' Hall is getting lit up.

It's pretty amazing that in a short amount of time after the Vick fiasco - Blank has done a very good job turning this franchise around.

I don't think being across from a great corner is an excuse for sucking.
 
Too bad - i was looking forward to him defending is nemesis Steve Smith this week. I'm sure Smith has been looking forward to the matchup.

i'd throw up if the Broncos brought this scummer in
 
As critical as I am of the Oakland Raiders, I like this move. He gets burnt constantly, getting paid stud corner money. He's like the Stephon Marbury of the NFL, he just plays.

 
hall sucks, good riddance. stupid signing, i hated it from the start. eating crow sucks, but it's a step in the right direction. & get rid of walker next.

 
Done deal and good riddance. Now let's get rid of the other FA acquisitions from the past year.

Raiders waive Hall, lose $8 million

The DeAngelo Hall experiment is over after one costly half-season.

The Raiders waived the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback after eight games Tuesday. The stunning move is designed to cut the team's financial losses before Hall makes any more money, a team source told The Chronicle. That means Hall will have made $8 million for eight games while the Falcons got a second-round draft pick in their offseason trade with Oakland.

Hall's agent, Alvin Keels, declined comment when reached by phone. The Raiders did not make any announcement.

Why release Hall with eight games to play?

Hall admittedly struggled to adapt to the Raiders' style of man-coverage defense, enough so that Raiders owner Al Davis decided he'd seen enough. Hall is due $16.5 million next season in injury-guaranteed bonuses. Davis would rather take that money and load up a long-term contract offer for cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, according to a league source familiar with the situation.

The Raiders could have let Hall play out the season, but if he gets hurt, they could be on the hook for the injury-proof portion of his deal.

So ends a relationship that was all promise, no results. When the Raiders traded for Hall, they gave him a seven-year contract worth up to $70 million. They hailed the move as the hallmark acquisition of an offseason spending spree that gave out huge bonuses to free-agents Javon Walker, Gibril Wilson and Tommy Kelly.

Coupled with Asomugha, Hall was supposed to give the Raiders the best cornerback tandem in the NFL. Instead, Hall got hurt early with hand and ankle injuries and didn't look comfortable in press coverage after spending years in a Cover 2 defense in Atlanta.

Hall had a team-high three interceptions but got consistently beaten on big plays each week.

Asomugha, meanwhile, looked like the Pro Bowl player the Raiders thought they got in Hall. Asomugha has no interceptions but teams have thrown against him no more than 10 times this season. A first-round pick in 2003, Asomugha was given the exclusive franchise tag in February. He resisted the team's long-term offers throughout the offseason and becomes an unrestricted free agent again in January.

The Raiders are expected to offer him another long-term deal - worth up to $30 million guaranteed, according to a league source - but there is no guarantee Asomugha will take it.

The Raiders could franchise tag him again, but at an inflated cost near $12 million. As for Hall, he will go through the waiver wire and - if he clears through - becomes a free agent.

If I was Asomugha, forget signing any longterm deal; I'd do anything in my power to get out of Oakland, including not reporting to camp or even the start of the season if he gets franchise tagged this offseason. Oakland is a franchise that is going nowhere.

The thing about Millen, he COULD get fired, even though he had pictures of the Fords and a dog. But no one can fire Al Davis.Sucksville.

 
I was watching the Falcon/Raider game and the announcers said Deangelo had a bunch of his former Falcon teammates over Saturday night to his house PRIOR to the game for a gathering. :wub:

Apprently he was trashing Roddy White pre-game for not coming over.

Like...can't you socialize after the game????

 
I knew there was something fishy about my fantasy DB... he has 40+ tackles and its only week 8. I see now, he was getting abused lol

:loco: Are you referring to the PacMan Jones or Tank Johnson signing? Neither of them were signed to large contracts its actually the opposite they were signed to contracts that protected the Dallas Cowboys. As a matter of fact Pacman wasnt gauranteed any money in his deal. If your referring to large money deals the Cowboys have had a good track record as of recently with the exception of Roy Williams (safety), i.e. Leonard Davis, Ken Hamlin.
 
Wow.

Mark me as one of the Raider fans who likes this move. Not playing well then get rid of him. Why wait? Use the rest of the year to give playing time to players who would otherwise be stuck behind him in the depth chart. Some might say to keep him and let him sit, but why? Hall has proven to be a problem player in the locker room, no need to have that associated with your team.
