Just two days after being released by the Oakland Raiders, Pro Bowl corner back DeAngelo Hall has a new home. Sources say that Hall will sign a one year deal with the Washington Redskins. The deal is belived to be around 1 million dollers, which would be what he would have got in Oakland. The other teams believed to be interested in Hall were the Patriots, Jets, and Ravens.
Their appears to be two reasosns that Hall chose Washington. First, Washington agreed not to place the franchise tag on him this off season. That would allow him to sign a long term deal with a team for the second summer in a row. The second reason that Hall chose the Redskins is that he wants to stay there for a long time, and he was qouted as saying that he and the team are going to work out a long term deal.
The Redskins are currently 6-3, and in second place in the NFC East. They also have the fourth best defense in the league, holding teams to 272 yards per game. However, around 70 percent of those yards have been thru the air. Hall should help them with that, as he has 3 interceptions in the first 8 games of this season.
With the great wide receivers in the NFC East- Terrell Owens, Plaxico Burress, Roy Williams- the addition of the Pro Bowl corner back should give Washington a huge boost.
