    No, the Jets beat the Jets, and because there can?t be two Teams with a L the Raiders were given the W.

    ProFootballTalk reports the cost to claim CB DeAngelo Hall on waivers is just the pro-rated portion of his $1 million salary, which is roughly $470,000.

    However, that total is misleading because a serious Hall injury would mean that his $16 million in unpaid bonus money would become guaranteed. With Terence Newman set to return after the Cowboys bye, we can't even see Jerry Jones taking on that risk.

    Well, he has been released so waivers don't play into it anymore. Besides the trading deadline has passed, hasn't it?

    Do you have to have those $16 million in capspace available to sign him?

    Could you just keep him on the active roster after he gets injured, to avoid paying that bonus?

    Are $16 million enough to get hurt on purpose?

    Well, I was wrong about this being a false rumor, just makes losing to this joke of a team even more painful, thats one of the reasons why I won't change screennames even if we make the playoffs. We lost to the joke team of the century, that hurts. Before when I said someday Matt Millen would be Raider GM I was joking, now I think its an inevitability.

    I don't think he'll be around until the Raiders win 3 in a row to make their record somewhat respectable..... so that means he's not coming back until the off-season.

    No one is going to pick up that retarded contract. Once he clears waivers he'll be a free agent and anyone can sign him to a new contract.

    jeaux had his time in the sun, won his Super Bowl for the year. Now he can happily disappear as his team commences it's annual implosion.

    For much, much less. I figure he'll be a Patriot.
