There are conflicting reports about the trade to send Atlanta Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall to the Oakland Raiders. Over the weekend, the trade was widely reported to be all but signed, sealed and delivered. Today Steve Wyche of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the trade is nearly final. But Hall himself denied that the trade was close. And Adam Schefter reported today on NFL Network that the sides are not as optimistic that the deal will get done as they previously were. "It doesn't look like, right now, this trade is going to come to be," Schefter reported today. The Falcons and Raiders appear to have agreed in principle that the trade will consist of the Falcons sending second- and sixth-round picks to the Raiders, but the Raiders are only interested in consummating the trade if they've worked out a contract that will keep Hall happy, and right now no such contract is in place. If a contract agreement is reached, Hall will be a Raider. If not, this trade isn't happening.

When Al Davis wants to make a splash: Raider X

Raider X has emerged from the witless protection program to offer his thoughts on the Oakland Raiders' blockbuster trade for DeAngelo Hall. He takes some time to wonder whether Fabian Washington, Stanford Routt or Stuart Schweigert will be the odd man out in the Raiders' remade secondary, or is this a sign that Nnamdi Asomugha may be the one on his way out.

When Samuel received that much money I was a little surprised, but Hall I'...
