| 6th November, 2008 - 9:39 am |  NFL.com - Cornerback DeAngelo Hall, who was released by the Raiders on Wednesday, believes that the move could be a blessing in disguise.
"As bad as people may think I'm playing, I'm not playing all that bad. I've got about 50 tackles (48), (13) pass breakups, three picks -- one off the league lead -- and I've dropped a lot. I'm feeling good," Hall said I think if I get in a scheme that fits me, that will benefit me.
"I want the world to know that this didn't happen because I was a dirt bag and messing around. A lot of people were making me out to be a (bad person). It is what it is, a business decision. (Team owner) Al Davis assured me that it had nothing to do with me, the person. It was a financial thing."
Hall can be claimed on waivers beginning Thursday afternoon. He figures he'll probably clear the process and become a free agent, able to sign with any team.
"This is a blessing," Hall said. "I have learned it's not all about the money. I've learned now it's more about the team. Ain't all money good money. I took the bait. I went for the money and I didn't research the situation. But I don't think I would trade this for the world. Just to meet Al Davis, to get to pick his brain, to know the kind of person he is and the impression he had on football is good for me to say that I know him." [READ] |
