New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick approached DeAngelo Hall with an offer in 2008.
You might remember DeAngelo Hall from his days with the Atlanta Falcons when he was a two-time Pro Bowler. When things went sour in the Dirty South, the Falcons traded him to the Oakland Raiders before the 2008 season for a second-round pick. Hall inked a seven-year, $70 million deal with Oakland to make the trade official.
