Okay....as much as I dislike the guy, he's a top 5 CB in the league. You can get him for half the money Asante Samuel got & he's a man to man corner. Hello....this is what we play! We don't have to gamble in the draft or pick up someone's nickel corner from a zone defense in hopes that he can start. You know you'll have a bonafide CB to blanket WR's. I really don't see why we haven't pursued this guy. He's a perfect fit for our defense & as for as top flight corners are concerned....he's relatively a bargain.

he is super cheap and said he wouldn't change his salary if they traded him. he'd be 4.2 million for one year.. would be a great quick fix for the defense.. and you don't have to re-sign him if it doesn't work out.. i'm sure the saints have a few tricks up their sleeves come draft day tho..

beauchristopher

also i understand 4.2 is not cheap.. but i am relating as opposed to other top corners in the nfl who are making around 8-10 million a season..

To me, this is a no brainer. This is about the same yearly average Jason David & Randall Gay will be making. Hmmm.....let's see....I'd take DeAngelo Hall covering a guy by himself over Gay & David doubling up on him any day of the week. To think, we're going to pay a nickel corner (Gay) & a BUM (David) that kind of money.....but we won't pay a perrenial Pro Bowl CB that kind of money. Does that not baffle you guys?

David was just a terrible deal. I don't even know why the Saints went after him when he was a restricted free agent.. I think Gay over the longrun will be a solid deal.. Who knows.. there's always Lito Sheppard as well.. I'm still big on DRC though for the future..

I totally agree. I cannot think of a single reason that the Saints would not be considering giving D. Hall a call right now.

He would put this CB unit over the top without breaking the bank, and we could draft DT, S, and even some offense on draft day.

Can I get an amen?

Hall feels betrayed by the falcons in several ways..
Hall, who is owed $4.2 million next season, said his desire to leave the Falcons is not about money. He did want to have his contract extended, but he said that he recently told the Falcons that he would play out his final year if the team promised not to apply the franchise tag following the season.

That tag would limit Hall's ability to negotiate with other teams should he become a free agent. Hall said the team declined. He said that any team interested in acquiring him would not have to re-do his contract before a trade is consummated.

"I don't want to stay there," said Hall,. "I would go anywhere who wants me. That's the thing. It's hard to play for or be part of an organization that doesn't want you. I just want to go somewhere where I'm wanted."

This really, REALLY should be a no brainer move for the Front Office. I truely hope this deal is going to get done.

Tell yall what, my buddy is the equipment manager for the saints. Ill give him a call and tell him to put a bug in his ear. I know he sees Payton everyday so maybe he can relay the message to him then to loomASS
