Falcons trying to trade
DeAngelo Hall to Raiders
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 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 the Raiders one of the top tandems in the game and perhaps the best for the Raiders since Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes helped the Raiders win their last Super Bowl after the 1983 season.
The move would also provide insurance if Asomugha were to leave as a free agent following next season.
JACKSON WAIVED — The San Francisco 49ers waived receiver Darrell Jackson after one unproductive season.
Jackson joined the 49ers in a trade last April after eight seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. He made at least one catch in each of his 15 starts for the 49ers, but finished the season with just 46 catches for 497 yards and three touchdowns in the NFL's least productive offense.
The 49ers signed longtime St. Louis Rams receiver Isaac Bruce to a two-year, $6 million deal last month. Jackson would have made $4 million next season in salary and bonuses.
RETURNING TO PHILLY — The Philadelphia Eagles added a guy with a nice collection of jewelry on Friday.
Dan Klecko has three Super Bowl rings, and coach Andy Reid hopes he gets a fourth one next season because the former Temple star is returning to Philadelphia as a member of the Eagles.
Klecko, a 27-year-old free agent, agreed to a one-year deal with the team and will go to training camp trying to win the job as the starting fullback. The deal will become official Monday, after Klecko takes a physical.
