Redskins sign CB DeAngelo Hall

Whenever a famous name comes available... you can bet the Washington Redskins will be involved. The Skins have beaten the Saints, Steelers, and Pats to the signature of former Raider DeAngelo Hall.

Even though DeAngelo Hall wanted to take the weekend to consider 15 or more scenarios for a new team, the cornerback decided Friday to accept a one-year deal from the Washington Redskins, according to his agent, Joel Segal.

According to a source, Hall agreed to a one-year deal that is worth $492,000 for the remainder of the season

So the Raiders paid Hall $8 million for 8 games and the Redskins will pay him less than $500 grand. Not a bad deal for the Skins.

Obviously Hall is a rental. He'll play out the rest of the season with the Redskins and then enter free agency looking for yet another massive deal.

Now they can continue to wallow in their misery at CB

actually i was hoping he landed in Dallas… it would have given them a false sense of comfort, only to watch a guy that couldn’t cover my dead grandmother run around the field giving up large chunks of yardage… (Michael Jenkins loves to be covered by Hall)

World F*ckin' Champions, indeed...

exactly. Hall is the most over rated corner on the planet. hes terrible, not to mention a head case. just another bad apple in big D…..would’ve loved it.

He’s overrated but I wouldn’t be surprised if he magically gets better now that he’s out of Oakland.

not to mention the Skins have a great fast young safety to play over top of Hall … this could be good for him.

The safe bet would be B-West….because….well, he burns everyone. But I’m gonna pick DeSean, seeing as he’s quickly becoming Donny’s favorite target. Maybe we can see Celek beating him?
