Hall Could Be Gone

According to ESPN, the Falcons and the free-spending Raiders have agreed to a trade for Atlanta cornerback DeAngelo Hall, with the Raiders sending a second-rounder eastward. Of course, that trade won’t be completed until Hall and the Raiders agree upon a new contract that will pay Hall about $57 million over six years, similar to what Asante Samuel got from the Eagles.
The Giants had offered their first-round pick, the 31st overall. But the Giants were never going to play in Hall’s financial ballpark, and as I said a few days ago, I didn’t think that trade would ever happen. The Raiders trade isn’t complete yet, so I guess there’s still an outside chance. But as of now, it appears Al Davis will shell out once again after spending big bucks to lock in defensive tackle Tommy Kelly and land former Giants safety Gibril Wilson.
We’ll know soon enough if the Hall gambit is truly dead. It was on life-support, anyway, as far as the Giants’ end goes.
Ciao for now.

the giants could get hall. if they cut rw macquaters, rueben droughns and, sinorice moss they would have plenty of room to sign a guy like hall and still have money to increase the pay checks of plaxico burress, and chris snee
those 3 guys are less then $5 mill a yr..!!!!!These guys go to the raisers( a terrible terrible organization for 1 reason) and that is the money..The raiders have been terrible for yrs. and there is no reason to think things will get better any time soon even with all these signings…...
