Boy that was quick. According to ESPN, Angered by the team's horrible 2-6 start, Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis asked his front office staff to explore the possibility of releasing several players, including cornerback DeAngelo Hall, according to multiple sources.
and
also to be cut is wide receiver Javon Walker, who received an $11 million signing bonus and a $1 million base salary this year, but he has only 13 catches in his first seven games with the Raiders. The other players on Davis' list are unknown.
The Raiders are in shambles and even though they are terrible isn't this a little too soon? I understand Walker and Hall aren't performing to the level they have in the past, but seriously? Look at your team Al Davis. Jemarcus Russell is the worst QB in the league and seems to go 2-34 every single game, the defense has been terrible and you can't blame anybody but yourself for this nightmare.
Javon Walker may not be picked up because he hasn't been into football for a couple of years and is really injury prone and has had many off field problems. As for Hall, he can still be a good coverage cornerback and if I were a team with a decimated secondary like New England or Dallas, I would definitely give him a look.
Other players that may be included in the cuts are WR Ronald Curry and S Michael Huff (who was an early first round pick).
