Props to my man Steve Wyche in Atlanta forgetting the news that the DeAngelo Hall trade is all but done.
Hall told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he will be in Alameda on Wednesday to finalize the deal. There are only minor details to work out and the trade should be official by Thursday.
The Raiders will send their 2008 second- and sixth-round picks to Atlanta for Hall, a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback.
Once Nnamdi Asomugha signs his franchise tender, the Raiders will have one of the best corner tandems in the NFL.
The Raiders will now look to trade cornerback Fabian Washington, a 2005 first-round pick that lost his starting job last season after two games.
That would make Asomugha, Hall and Stanford Routt the team’s top-three corners. There’s still no contract with cornerback Cris Carr, a restricted free agent.
