Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall's $1 million base salary isn't guaranteed.
Only Hall's $250,000 signing bonus is guaranteed. "MeAngelo" could make another $1 million through incentives. It's very likely Hall makes Redskins' 53-man roster and guarantees his salary, but he's going to have to be on his game — and best behavior — in camp. Apr 8 - 12:13 PM

Redskins re-signed CB DeAngelo Hall to a one-year, $2.25 million contract.

Returning to Washington at a reduced rate was always a possibility, and became likelier and likelier as the 29-year-old drew zero interest after being released three weeks ago. Hall started all 17 games last season and recorded 102 tackles, 15 pass breakups, and four interceptions. Teaming Hall with Josh Wilson and E.J. Biggers gives the Redskins a decent cornerback trio, and signing free agent CB Antoine Winfield still isn't out of the question.

GM Martin Mayhew said the Lions have no interest in free agent CB DeAngelo Hall.

Erroneous reports out of Washington last week had Hall actually signing with the Lions. Mayhew was quick to shoot those down. He is still in the market for a corner to book end Chris Houston. Bill Bentley did not look up to task as a rookie.

The Redskins have left the door open for free agent DeAngelo Hall to return on a reduced salary.

Beat writer John Keim also passes along buzz in the agent community that Hall may re-sign in Washington. "I heard they were bringing D-Hall back," said one agent, who reps a different cornerback. The Skins whiffed on Aqib Talib and Derek Cox in free agency. Hall should be an affordable fallback option, assuming he's willing to swallow his pride. The Redskins cut "MeAngelo" on March 11.

DeAngelo Hall - DB - Redskins

Dan Hellie of NBC Washington reports the Cowboys are interested in free agent DeAngelo Hall to play free safety.

Hall gets deservingly ripped for his man coverage, but he's always been a quietly strong tackler with ball skills. It would make sense for Hall to try free safety in order to prolong his career. The Cowboys have scant cap space, but a cheap one-year deal could be a win for Hall if he doesn't get better offers.

Updating a previous item, the Lions have not signed free agent CB DeAngelo Hall.

A Washington-area reporter jumped the gun, and Detroit beat writers have shot down the rumor and labeled it as "false." Hall will go back to the open market with all of the other recently released veteran cornerbacks.

DeAngelo Hall - DB - Redskins

Lions signed CB DeAngelo Hall, formerly of the Redskins.

Hall, 29, was just released by Washington on Monday. Detroit is in desperate need of cornerback help, and they wasted no time in picking one up before the market opened. Hall was set to earn $8 million with the Redskins in 2013, but he'll be lucky to get half that from the Lions. It's unclear what this means for the future of free agent CB Chris Houston in Detroit, but Hall doesn't solve a lot of problems. The Lions need more on the back end.

DeAngelo Hall - DB - Redskins

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said the team would be willing to bring free agent CB DeAngelo Hall back if he doesn't sign elsewhere.

It would obviously be at a much lower price than the $8 million he was scheduled to make. Although he's been one of the more burnable starters in the league lately, we'd expect Hall to find a new home.

DeAngelo Hall - DB - Redskins

Redskins released CB DeAngelo Hall.

The expected move clears $8 million in cap space. Hall was a disappointment practically since the ink dried on the six-year, $55 million deal he signed in 2009, but his release leaves an already undermanned secondary even thinner. The Redskins need to make multiple defensive back additions this offseason. Going on 30, Hall is being thrust onto a jam-packed cornerback market, essentially taking the retiring Chris Gamble's place. He should have plenty of suitors, but won't get guaranteed money beyond 2013.

Citing a source close to the situation, the Washington Post considers it "highly likely" that the Redskins will release DeAngelo Hall.

ESPN's Adam Schefter first mentioned Hall as a release candidate Thursday, but the Redskins were expected to make a "take it or leave it" pay-cut offer. It appears they won't go that route, instead outright cutting the 10-year veteran. The Skins are currently $3 million over the cap, and releasing Hall would clear $8 million. Hall has been routinely torched in coverage in D.C.

The Washington Examiner's John Keim hears the Redskins will likely make DeAngelo Hall a "take it or leave it" offer.

ESPN's Adam Schefter mentioned Hall earlier on Thursday as a prime candidate for release, but the Redskins will likely ask him to take a drastic pay cut before severing ties altogether. If he rejects, then Hall will be given his pink slip and Washington will clear his $8 million cap number off the books.

DeAngelo Hall - DB - Redskins

On Thursday's SportsCenter, ESPN's Adam Schefter mentioned DeAngelo Hall as a prime candidate for offseason release.

Schefter grouped Hall with Nnamdi Asomugha and James Harrison. "The Redskins are over the salary cap," Schefter explained. "... Hall is scheduled to make $8 million, that would come off the books for next season. He will be a candidate that the Redskins will look at to try to get back underneath the salary cap." Washington is currently about $4 million over the cap. Cutting Hall would get them under.

Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall underwent surgery Tuesday to repair broken right pinkie finger.

Hall played through the injury for "about half the season." The operation was reportedly to repair ligament damage. Hall is expected to begin rehabbing in roughly a month, which means he should be 100 percent for Washington's offseason program. Coming off another up-and-down campaign, the Redskins are expected to approach Hall about slashing his odious $7.5 million 2013 salary.

DeAngelo Hall - DB - Redskins

The Washington Post reiterated that DeAngelo Hall is open to restructuring his contract if need be but questions whether the Redskins even want him back.

Hall has two years left on a six-year contract and is due $7.5 million in 2013. After the Wild Card loss to the Seahawks, Hall said he'd do "whatever I gotta do to be here." The 29-year-old gave up over 1,000 yards to opposing receivers in his coverage, but Washington doesn't possess much better internal options at the moment.

DeAngelo Hall acknowledges that his scheduled $7.5 million salary may prevent him from returning to the Redskins next season.

Hall wants to stay with the Redskins and is open to restructuring his contract. "Whatever I gotta do to be here," said Hall. "I'm gonna try to get it done." Hall spent much of Sunday's playoff loss jacking his jaw and picking fights with Seahawks offensive players.
