vafalconfan Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 asked if hall was still expressing a desire to be traded behind closed doors, the player replied, "if the denver broncos found a way to make it happen with champ (bailey), deangelo knows (the falcons) can find a way to make it happen." pleeeeze make it happen!!

dilkin Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 note: i left out stuff re: other players from other teams.early market watch by charles robinson, yahoo! sportsoctober 25, 2007if deangelo hall hadn't forced himself onto the trading block before this week, he may have finished the job wednesday. as several high-profile players have been the recent subjects of trade speculation, including cincinnati's chad johnson and miami's jason taylor, hall criticized the atlanta falcons for cutting defensive tackle grady jackson earlier this week. the comments, coming less than a month after he was fined $100,000 for a sideline tirade directed at falcons coach bobby petrino, could be the wedge that ultimately forces the franchise to deal their prized cornerback. in a candid interview with reporters at the falcons' practice facility, hall called the team's decision to single out jackson for poor play "asinine", "ridiculous" and "ludicrous." they were the sharpest words yet from hall this season, in which the falcons have gone 1-6 and seemingly been in a spiral since quarterback michael vick's offseason federal indictment and subsequent guilty plea on dog-fighting charges. according to the atlanta journal constitution, hall also concurred with a statement made by tight end alge crumpler that the coaching staff was minimizing the role of veteran players this season. while general manager rich mckay said earlier this month that the falcons weren't interested in moving hall next offseason, this latest barrage may be cause for new consideration. it's clear hall has been unhappy with his contract since nate clements landed a deal potentially worth $80 million from the san francisco 49ers in the latest round of free agency. hall has made the past two nfc pro bowl teams. one source close to hall even raised the possibility that the cornerback would hold out of training camp until he got a new deal. that never materialized, and hall has since appeared to be unhappy for a variety of reasons. a former falcons player now with another team said the cornerback felt the franchise "kicked mike (vick) when he was down," and that he has never been on the same page as petrino. "he's not feeling (petrino)," the player told yahoo! sports this week. "they're not even talking. not at all, nothing. (deangelo) was already ######ed about his (contract) and then they fined him and that was pretty much the last straw for any relationship." asked if hall was still expressing a desire to be traded behind closed doors, the player replied, "if the denver broncos found a way to make it happen with champ (bailey), deangelo knows (the falcons) can find a way to make it happen." after wednesday, it looks more likely than ever.good, kick him to the curb!

s725r2 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 i would take vilma and a mid round pick for hall.knowing us though we will be part of a 12 team trade that somehow ends up yielding us vinny testeverde and a 6th round pick.vintage atlanta sports. you've been around for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defensewinscliche Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 i could go with the vilma-miller deal too. it's just not something the jets would be interested in, i dont think. they drafted a franchise cb this year.i just dont think corner is a big enough need for them to trade away such value in vilma. also, i'm not sure mangini wants to deal with a baby like hall.

btrain5489 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 well if hall were smart. he'd shut his mouth now that he's spoke his mind. go out an play lights out football to improve his trade value & contract size since it's obvious money is what he wants.and yea, i'd love to have vilma here.and you fault him for it? if you're going to be stuck playing for a crappy team you might as well get paid in the process.players want a chance to win and if that can't happen they want to get paid. ideal situation is getting paid with a chance to win but that doesn't always happen. faulting a player for wanting to get paid is stupid. would anyone have anything negative to say about you if you left your job for a 20% raise elsewhere?everyone wants to get paid as well as they possibly can. the idea that its negative for an athlete to feel the same way as everyone else in the population is crazy.
