Dolphins Interested in Williamson and Hall?

The Herald reported today that the Dolphins have been talking with the agents for WR Troy Williamson and CB DeAngelo Hall about potentially trading for those players.

My advice to Parcells: don't go anywhere near Williamson. The big red flag on him coming out of South Carolina was his inexperience at the position. In his 3 years in the NFL has has proven jack squat and hasn't been the deep threat anyone had hoped for. I would offer a 7th for butterfingers, and nothing more.

As for Hall, I sincerely doubt the Big Tuna will look his way. DeAngelo is a decent player but is probably the most overrated DB in the NFL aside from Dallas safety Roy Williams. He consistently makes the Pro Bowl on name recognition alone. And he will want a $10 million a year deal after the upcoming season to boot.

Trading for him would be an expensive risk because his salary demands might result in him being a one-year rental for the Dolphins. What I would seriously consider would be to trade our #1 pick down to #3 to Atlanta in exchange for the rights to Hall. It's unlikely anyone will really give Atlanta much more value for an overpriced malcontent.
