DeAngelo Hall will likely remain on the team in light of the release of veteran presence Will Blackmon. But he’ll be much cheaper than he previously was. Hall recently took a pay cut, decreasing his $2.2 million guaranteed salary to $1.1 million, plus incentives.
The move doesn’t come on the heels of any major signing. Rather, it shows that Hall knows where his place is. The veteran has provided the Redskins with a steady presence over the years, but his play has also steadily declined, and injuries have often kept him sidelined.
Now in 2017, the team has opted to restructure the former Pro Bowler’s contract, and he pleaded no contest.
