This time ten years ago, DeAngelo Hall was a big time acquisition for the Raiders. Al Davis sent a second round pick to the Falcons in 2008 to acquire the Pro Bowl cornerback. Hall was to line up at right cornerback and he and Nnamdi Asomugha were touted as arguably the best duo in the NFL.
In order to get it done, Davis gave Hall is ridiculous contract extension that paid him $70 over seven years. Ten million per season may not seem like a lot now for a Pro Bowl corner, but it was ten years ago.
