NovemberNov. 5, 2008 Raiders owner Davis begins to correct mistakes with release of CB Hall After a frustrating 2-6 start, including a shutout loss to the Falcons in Week Nine, Raiders owner Al Davis officially waived CB DeAngelo Hall on Wednesday and he is expected to release other several players, including WR Javon Walker in the near future, reports indicate.

Rumored to be contemplating retirement for several weeks, Sapp, 35, stepped away from the game by way of a phone call to Raiders owner Al Davis. He originally told Davis, head coach Lane Kiffin and teammates of his intentions after Oakland’s season finale, but Davis ... More>
