HALL GETS $24.5 MILLION GUARANTEED
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 20, 2008, 5:55 p.m.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that the Raiders’ acquisition
of cornerback DeAngelo Hall is finally, officially done.

According to Schefter, Hall has agreed to a seven-year, $70 million
contract that includes $24.5 million in guaranteed money.

That would be more money than the Eagles guaranteed Asante Samuel, and
it would be just the latest sign that the Raiders are serious about
spending big money to turn the franchise around. It would also set up
the Raiders to have the most expensive pair of cornerbacks in history if
Nnamdi Asomugha either signs his franchise tender or signs a lucrative
long-term deal with the Raiders.

Schefter also reports that the Raiders will send the Falcons their 2008
second-round pick and a 2009 fifth-round pick, not the 2008 sixth-round
pick that had been previously reported. The Falcons now will have four
of the top 48 selections in the 2008 draft, putting them in excellent
position to get a big influx of young talent.

Over the past two seasons, the Oakland Raiders' secondary has ranked
eighth and first against the pass. The Raiders are one of just three
teams to finish in the top 10 in passing defense in both 2006 and 2007.

You certainly wouldn't guess that by looking at the way the 2008
offseason has played out thus far, though.

First, the Raiders went out and picked up free safety Gibril Wilson from
the New York Giants; that will cost them $39 million over the next six
years. Then, they slapped a one-year, $9.45 million franchise tag on
cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. Now, according to ESPN, Atlanta Falcons
defensive back DeAngelo Hall will be awarded a seven-year, $70 million
deal once he's traded to Oakland.

That's $118,450,000 spent on the secondary in less than one month.

In the meantime, the offensive line -- considered to be a much bigger
concern heading into this offseason -- has gone by mostly unnoticed to
this point.
