Hall Signs With Redskins - Back In Burgundy

Well, that was fast. The internets just got word that DeAngelo Hall is now a Washington Redskin. The Redskins gave Hall a prorated one year deal, meaning he will get paid for the remainder of the 2008 season at the same rate he was to get from the Jokeland Raiders. He will be a free agent come March 2009.

This is a good signing. You can never have too many cornerbacks, especially in the NFC East. Also, this Redskins team is full of high character players, so Hall will know right away not to mouth off...Portis, Fletcher, Campbell, Moss, hell...any player....will put him in his place. This is a good environment for Hall who has played with losing teams since he left the Virginia Tech Hokies. He will have a very experienced coaching staff to transition him to the playbook and the culture of this football club. Just what the doctor ordered for this young talent.

It will be interesting to see if he sticks around for 2009, it would be wise for both I think (as I said on the previous post).

HAIL.
