Amid widespread reports and expectations that Atlanta Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall will work out a new deal with the Raiders that will allow him to be traded to Oakland, Jim Trotter of SI.com reports that a four-and-a-half-hour meeting between Hall and Raiders bigwigs on Wednesday didn’t result in an agreement.

Trotter also reports that, if a deal doesn’t get done on Thursday, the Raiders’ effort to acquire Hall might end.

The problem, as we see it, is that Hall necessarily will get less money from a team that has to give up a second-round pick and a sixth-round pick in order to have a shot at acquiring him.  So for Hall to get what he wants, he needs to be on the open market.  And since he’s at most 11 months away from getting there — and possibly sooner if the Falcons have resolved to cut him if they can’t trade him — it might make sense for Hall to dig in his heels.

As we previously reported, there’s a sense that Hall’s expectations already have killed possible trades that would have sent him to the Giants and to the Jaguars.
