DeAngelo Hall Leaving Raiders and New Home Behind?
November 7, 2008
When DeAangelo Hall was acquired by Oakland from Atlanta no one could foresee the disappointing start the two-time pro bowler would have with his new team. Hall was released by the Raiders on November 5th after only eight games, and only a few short months after signing a seven-year, $70 million contract with $24.5 million of that guaranteed.
Hall now not only needs to find a new city to play for but he also needs to decide what to do with his new OakTown house. In September Hall shelled out $1,860,000 for a 5 bedroom, 4,919 square foot home in Oakland.
The home also has a home theater, 4 full bathrooms and 1 half, 3 fireplaces and views of the bay.
