D-Hall is back, sort of.  The former Deep Creek star in Chesapaeake is at least a lot closer to home.  After getting cut by the Oakland Raiders just 8 games into the season, Hall has signed on with the Redskins.  He’ll play out the season with them and then become a free agent.

This deal works out pretty well for both parties.  The Redskins get one of the best cover cornerbacks in the leauge.  Hall, a former Virginia Tech standout, has the 3rd most interceptions in the league since 2005.  This is good for Hall because it gives him a chance to get his reputation back. 

Things were pretty ugly in Oakland for Hall.  In the off-season, he signed a 7-year, $70 million contract.  He didn’t last that long.  Fortunately for him, he still received $8 million for his 8 games.  Hall is going to have to fight the reputation that he’s a headcase, trouble-maker, etc.  Now, with the Redskins, he’ll get that chance.

This comes at a time when the Redskins could use some DB depth.  Sean Springs has battled injuries all season, and Chris Horton has been hurt a few games too.  Hall will help the Redskins throughout the rest of the season.

How will it turn out?  If I had to guess, I’d say Hall would help out the Redskins later in the season.  For some reason, it’s hard for players to make an immediate impact in the NFL, even on defense.  I could be wrong, but I don’t think this will give the Redskins a “big bang” right away.

“Big bang?”  You know what I mean.
