Even though DeAngelo Hall wanted to take the weekend to consider 15 or more scenarios for a new team, the cornerback decided Friday to accept a one-year deal from the Washington Redskins, according to his agent, Joel Segal.

According to a source, Hall agreed to a one-year deal that is worth $492,000 for the remainder of the season.
The Raiders released Hall on Wednesday, eight games into a seven-year, $72 million contract.
He walked away with $8 million this year and a chance to sign with a new team.
The New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers were among the teams most active in trying to recruit Hall.
The Redskins are on a bye, so Hall won't make his first appearance in a Redskins uniform until next week.
