DeAngelo Hall, who is good but maybe overrated, and who often causes a stir in the media/locker-room/sidelines, has been traded to the Raiders, according to ESPN.
The Atlanta Falcons have reached an agreement in principle with the Oakland Raiders to trade cornerback DeAngelo Hall for the Raiders’ second-round pick in the 2008 draft, pending the Raiders finalizing a contract with Hall, a source close to the Falcons told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.
The source is saying Hall will get something close to what Asante Samuel got with the Eagles, and putting the outspoken Hall with Nnamdi Asomugha will make for one of the better one-two tandems in the NFL at the corner position. The Falcons, meanwhile, will receive the 35th overall selection, where they may be able to pick up a quarterback like, say, Joe Flacco.
