DeAngelo Hall-To-Raiders Trade Falling Apart?

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.
