The Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting that DeAngelo Hall is wanting a new deal and that the Falcons are considering trade options.

Coach Mike Smith wants the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback on the team. Hall, who has one-year left on his contract, recently said he wants to be back, but he won't play next season without an extension. The Falcons have not committed long-term to Hall and are exploring trade possibilities.

With one year left on his current deal, the extension might not be unbearable although CB contracts have been rediculous these last few years. . .at the very least, I have determined it was interesting enough to becomy my first diary after reading/commenting on others for a year+.

We've discussed trading Spears/Carpenter(although I want to keep him) - what if a trade could be wrangled for Hall?
