Speculation: Raiders releasing players???
 

I'm not sure how they're going to do it without killing themselves cap-wise for years, and I know they suck, but is there anyone we'd be interested in?

i gotta believe hall would make a difference...maybe huff?

whatev.

al's done.

If one of those "high priced vets" included Fargas we could have ourselves a real nice compliment to Slaton. And while I know Bush isn't a "high priced veteran," he would be an even better compliment.

Hall would also obviously be an upgrade for us.

Hall has some baggage. He screamed at Petrino, and then forces a trade. The Raiders give him a huge contract and now might release him. That does not have a good smell.

His salary for 2008 is only $1 million; that equates to only $470,588 for a rest-of-year rental. Not bad

If Hall suffers a serious injury, that $16 million in unpaid bonus money becomes guaranteed. This would scare me.

actually, i heard that due to them releasing him at this time the injury bonus wouldnt kick in. also, whoever gets him will negotiate a new contract with him. his old contract has no bearing on any other team as this would not be a trade since he was cut

Hmmm, something smells fishy.

Not to me. Hall's been a big vortex of suck this year. He was never one-third as good as he made himself out to be, but before this year he was at least a starting-caliber cornerback, albeit not a good one. Then again, that could all be explained by him being overexposed. This year, playing opposite Asomugha, teams were throwing at him non-stop, as opposed to his days in Atlanta when the #2 corners were positively atrocious so he saw the ball come his way less.

DeAngelo Hall is a piece of trash.

Next.

Ah, it's good to see some justice in this world. Al traded away second and fifth rounders and signed him to a $70 million deal, only to cut him midway through his first season. The ghost of Philip Buchanan strikes back.

if only he could have directed those picks the texans' way . . .

It will never happen. We have always had to do it the hardest way there is. I see nothing different. Stay away from Angelo Hall. Pure trouble.

And then he ends up in Indy...I really hope not.

That would be terrible but Tony Dungy has proven himself to be a different kind of coach.
