Big Score 1 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 So the Falcons move a talented, albeit me first malcontent to get the Raiders 2nd round pick this year, their 5th round pick next year & free up $4.22 million in cap money. SWEET!!!!! On the flip side, I'd say the Raiders now have themselves one of the NFL's best & deepest set of young CB's around. Hall, Asomugha, Routt & Washington...WOW!!! Al showed he's still got it with the contract for Hall that he personally brokered. I guess the reports of his senility have been severely exaggerated. The old man is crazy like a fox. The deal, NFL sources confirmed, was brokered almost exclusively by Raiders owner Al Davis Final contract figures were not immediately known, but the deal is believed to pay Hall $30 million over the first three seasons and as much as $11 million in 2008 - $10 million in the form of a guaranteed but prorated signing bonus and $1 million in base salary. That would make his cap charge for '08 less than $2 million. Under his new contract, Hall, sources said, could be paid as much as $15 million in 2009 in the form of an option bonus - one that could eventually be converted to a prorated signing bonus for salary cap purposes.

budlitebrad Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hall's ego and the disfunctional Raiders organization are a match made in heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U left out their dangerous safety Tandem to go with it. Wilson and Huff. If they get a pass-rusher Its going to be a long day for QB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I think you guys are giving Huff way too much credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalboyd Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I think you guys are giving Huff way too much credit. Well he will earn his keep this year at Free Safety. I just say throw the ball in his area now. And lets see who wins. This is his 3rd years so he should be adjusted to the NFL. Plus he has either a year or two under his belt with the same DC which bodes well for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I think you guys are giving Huff way too much credit. Whether or not Huff is elite, he's still more than serviceable. Overall the Raiders have one heckuva defensive backfield....my opinion for whatever it's worth. My thinking is that loyalboyd is right. The Raiders get / develop a good pass rusher...look out.

kpholmes Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I think you guys are giving Huff way too much credit. Huff hasn't been able to do what he's good at first first two seasons - and that's roam the field. Because he didn't have help at the safety position, and Fabian Washington was inconsistent, he was forced to stick on a TE or stay in a deep zone. Now that he has a TON of security in that backfield with him, Rob Ryan will let him roam and instinctively make plays like he did at TX.

WaterMan Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 DeAngelo Hall is wasting his talent just like Moss did when he went to the Raiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vatican Hitsquad Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 DeAngelo Hall is wasting his talent just like Moss did when he went to the Raiders. +1 This is true, he should have gone to NE, where he can lose a Super Bowl there after an undefeated season for far less money.
