Look, I know he's 31 and past his prime, but I'd love to bring him back because, as old as he is, he'll most likely be on a vet minimum deal, and he'll be in the slot covering receivers or playing safety, so not like he'll be left on an island out wide covering a team's #1 or #2 receiver.
Leon has ball skills and instincts that you just can't teach, so I think he'd be a valuable asset to this team.
So far, the Giants, Falcons and Dolphins have expressed interest in Hall, and none of them appear close to signing the 31-year-old defensive back, so I think the chances of him signing here are very likely, especially because he'll want to get what he's come so close to getting when he started here a decade ago- a playoff win.
There's more in the article, including how it says we paid him so well that the least he can do is sign a friendly contract here.
Being a DB pre-tree, I've always had a love for Hall since we drafted him, so I'd love to see him stay with us so we can get him a playoff win or two!
Well, the first few words in your post say it all. Hall had a great career, but with him recovering from back surgery it might be time for him to hang up his cleats and grab a clip board as a NFL asst. DB coach.
