Hall: “This Is A Blessing”
The National Football Post » Hot News and Rumors — Hall: “This Is A Blessing” From Steve Wyche of NFL.com : Two years removed from his second Pro Bowl, cornerback DeAngelo Hall said he doesn’t think his release from the Oakland Raiders eight games into the season has damaged his reputation as a good player or, he hopes, as a person.“I don’t think so,” Hall said Wednesday, hours after he was officially released by the Raiders. “As bad as people may think I’m playing, I’m not playing all that bad.

Hall seems to be hoping to get a call from Jerry Jones, whose ...

SportsHubLA — Panthers (6-2) at Raiders (2-6) — Sunday, 1:05 p.m. PST, FOX THE SCENE: [image] The Raiders gained negative two yards in the first half last week against Atlanta . That’s two yards fewer than you or I had, closer to resembling the American dollar’s value compared the Euro than production from an NFL offense. And that’s not the worst of it. On Tuesday Oakland  released high-priced acquisition DeAngelo Hall  after eight games in the Bay Area. The move was costly for owner Al Davis, who traded  second and fifth round draft choices to the Falcons in the off season and paid the two-time Pro Bowler $8 million in salary and bonus money. Still, it looks like Davis isn’t ...
