When most teams sign a former first rounder as a free agent in the offseason to a seven-year, $72 million contract, they get excited. This guy becomes their franchise player. They usually keep him around, you know, the seven years.
Al Davis decided that it was going to be eight for DeAngelo Hall. Games.
In a move that's completely typical of the embarrassment that is the Raiders franchise, Al Davis decided to release Hall Wednesday.
By letting go of Hall, the Raiders are not only letting go of a very solid cornerback, they basically forfeited $8 million (the amount Hall got paid for 8 games), plus the second- and fifth-round picks they gave up for him.
I mean, I can understand Davis wanted to do something dramatic, especially after his offense put together only 77 yards in a horrific loss to the Falcons.
What's that? Hall doesn't play on offense?
Way to go, Al.
