Signing DeAngelo Hall is a great move. Shawn Springs and Fred Smoot have been hurt all season. He adds superior depth in a troublesome spot. I had been disappointed that the Redskins hadn't drafted Aqib Talib in the first round but Hall is a considerable upgrade. Best of all, he comes at low risk and minimal cost. Chances are that he will play well, the Skins will part ways (unfortunately) with Springs, and the team will reward Hall with a multi-year contract.
Hall had trouble in Oakland because they play a lot of man-press coverage whereas Hall was a successful zone corner in Atlanta. He will be re-energized by playing for his boyhood favorite team. Plus, anyone would be re-energized by leaving the black hole that is the Oakland Raiders. The Skins' locker room has enough leaders that any issues he'd otherwise bring will not be any kind of distraction. Kudos to the Danny and the Vinny for signing DeAngelo Hall.
