Info on DeAngelo Hall posibble trade

Quote :

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports DeAngelo Hall will sign a seven-year, $70 million contract with the Raiders.

However, as NFL Network's Adam Schefter has reported, the deal is far
from done. The sides haven't agreed on exact compensation. Hall is
flying to meet with owner Al Davis on Wednesday night and if all goes
well, will sign the most lucrative contract for a cornerback in league
history. Nate Clements' deal was for seven years, $64 million (not
eight years, $80 million). Hall's signing bonus and amount of
guaranteed money is still unknown.

7 year 70 million is crazy talk. no wonder al davis's franchise is horrible. he spends WAY too much money guys with character issues or are unproven or dont deserve the money take a look.

DeAngelo Hall CB-Character issues; overpaid
Randy Moss WR-Character issues and trade him for only a 4th rounder (stupid)
Tommy Kelly DT-WAY overpaid (highest contract for a DT. EVER 50.5 mill and 18 mill guarenteed; UDFA in '05)
JaMarcus Russell QB-unproven and way overpaid (#1 overall)
Plus they still have to pay Nnamdi Asomugha CB alot of money.
They are gonna be in money/cap problems

He is also trying to run his coach out of town by making him resign

The trade is finalized which sends Hall to Oakland for a 2008 2nd and a 2009 5th round pick. his contract consists of a 7year 70 million dollar deal that includes $24.5 million in guaranteed money.
