The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback signed a one-year deal with the Washington Redskins on Friday, and seems confident he will be in the nation's capital for years to come.
"It's a one-year deal for now, but we'll work something out long-term," Hall told FOXSports.com. "That's why I chose them. I don't want to hit the market in the offseason and have to move my family again this year.
"I really like everybody at the Redskins," Hall added. "Coach Zorn is really cool."
Other suitors for Hall included the Steelers, who were hot for his services for the remainder of the year, and the Patriots, who had also reportedly expressed interest in the 24-year-old Virginia Tech product.
The Raiders waived Hall on Wednesday after just eight games in an Oakland uniform. The team gave Hall a $70 million contract in one of its big signings this past offseason, and paid out $8 million of it before Wednesday's move.
Hall told FOXSports.com on Friday that he has no hard feelings toward the Raiders.
Hall, 24, was the No. 8 overall pick in the 2004 draft, and played his first four seasons in Atlanta. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2005 and 2006.
