Falcons Trade DeAngelo Hall To Raiders
...posted by Gary Grund...
According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com, the Falcons have reached an agreement in principle that will send cornerback DeAngelo Hall to the Raiders for their second-round pick in 2008 draft, pending the Raiders finalizing a contract with Hall. He is close to agreeing to a contract with the Raiders that will pay him just below what Asante Samuel signed with the Eagles, which was a six-year, $57 million deal with $20 million guaranteed.
Hall, 24, was drafted 8th overall by the Falcons in 2003 and has recorded 17 interceptions over four seasons in Atlanta.

Update - 8:23 p.m. - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution quotes Hall, who is denying that he has been traded to Oakland and that “somebody’s throwing something out there.”
