Now he's in cost-cutting mode.

A report in the San Franisco Chronicle Wednesday says the Raiders have waived Hall, meaning the team paid him $8 million for eight games. He was also due $16.5 million next season. Hall led the Raiders with three interceptions but got burned frequently for big gains.

Considering they signed him to a deal that could have reached $70 million over seven years, the team apparently decided to cut its losses in preparation for dealing with other players. That could include working out a long-term deal with cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, a league source told the paper.

A report on ESPN says Davis sent his staff a list of at least a dozen players to evaluate how waiving them would affect the Raiders' salary cap situation.

Among those players is Walker, who received an $11 million signing bonus before the season and has just 13 catches for 169 yards and one touchdown on the year.
