DeAngelo Hall, Washington Redskins agree to contract

The Washington Redskins have welcomed back cornerback DeAngelo Hall.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the Redskins and Hall have agreed to a one-year contract, according to a person informed of the deal.

"It just felt right," Hall told WJFK-FM, via CSNWashington.com. "I feel like I still have a lot to prove. I feel like it was a family, and I wasn't ready to give my family up."

The move comes less than a month after Washington released Hall in a salary-cap related move. The Associated Press, citing a person familiar with the deal, reported that Hall will get roughly $2 million in 2013. That's considerably less than the $8 million he initially was on the books for prior to his release.

Hall, 29, was unable to find a taker in a crowded secondary market in free agency. He started every game for the Redskins last season, finishing with four interceptions, 14 passes defensed and 95 tackles.

The move could take the cap-strapped Redskins out of play for Antoine Winfield, the veteran cornerback Washington wined and dined (owner Daniel Snyder and quarterback Robert Griffin III included) last Wednesday. Rapoport reported Winfield is on vacation and will make a decision upon his return.
