ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Falcons are negotiating a trade that would send outspoken cornerback DeAngelo Hall to the Oakland Raiders for a second-round pick in the NFL Draft.

A source familiar with the talks, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been finalized, confirmed the Falcons were discussing a trade for the 36th overall selection. The Falcons have the No. 3 pick in the opening round.

Hall is a two-time Pro Bowl selection, but he is nearly as well known for his outspoken demeanor. He clashed openly with former Falcons coach Bobby Petrino last season and was benched for a half after a sideline confrontation.

Hall was the Falcons' No. 1 pick in 2004.

Raiders owner Al Davis has always valued cornerbacks who can excel playing man-to-man coverage. Pairing Hall with Nnamdi Asomugha would give Oakland one of the top tandems in the game and perhaps the best for the Raiders since Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes helped the team win its last Super Bowl following the 1983 season.

The move would also provide insurance if Asomugha were to leave as a free agent following next season. The Raiders placed the exclusive franchise tag on Asomugha, guaranteeing him at least $9.465 million in 2008. They still would like to sign him to a long-term deal.

Asomugha had a breakthrough season in 2006, intercepting eight passes and becoming one of the top cover cornerbacks in the league. Asomugha had only one interception last season as teams often shied away from throwing to his side of the field and took advantage of Stanford Routt and Fabian Washington on the other side.

By acquiring Hall, that would be more difficult. Washington and Routt have not lived up to expectations in Oakland since being drafted with the team's first two picks in 2005.

If the Raiders complete the deal, they would have only one draft pick in the first three rounds. Oakland picks fourth in the opening round and traded its third-round pick last year to New England for a pick used to draft offensive lineman Mario Henderson.

Good for Oakland. Bad for Atlanta. Michael Turner and whoever they draft will have to carry this organization.

Maybe he is a Falcons fan. I guess they wanna get rid of all the Vick supporters.

Naw hes saying that cuz Hall gets smoked and barely plays man coverage. Guy plays zone 75% of the time and when he plays man he get fried. His second pro bowl season was a fluke cuz he gave up like 7 touchdowns and 9 yards a catch. Dont believe me, look at this

Add to that, Nnamdi A will be on the market because the Raiders are giving his extension to Hall and the Falcons picking that dude up would be a steal.

Wow Hall better not go to the raiders, I want him to go on a more exciting team he deserves it.
