Speculation: Raiders releasing players???

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 . . .
