ALAMEDA, Calif. - The Raiders and DeAngelo Hall agreed to terms Thursday on a $70 million, seven-year contract that paves the way for the former Pro Bowl cornerback to be dealt from Atlanta to Oakland, a person familiar with the talks said.

Hall arrived in the Bay Area to meet with Raiders owner Al Davis and other team officials Wednesday and the deal was completed Thursday, the person said on condition of anonymity because an announcement had not been made. Hall will be guaranteed a little more than $24 million in the new deal, the person said.

The Raiders wanted to sign Hall to a new contract before completing the deal with the Falcons in order to make sure they would have Hall for more than one year. Oakland will send a second-round pick, the 34th overall, in next month’s draft and an additional pick to Atlanta in the deal.

Oakland has already traded its third-round pick in this year’s draft to New England for the pick used to select offensive lineman Mario Henderson in 2007, and its fifth-round pick to Denver for defensive tackle Gerard Warren.

The Raiders could try to recoup some of those lost picks by trading either cornerback Fabian Washington or Stanford Routt.

With Hall slated to start opposite standout cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha in what should be one of the league’s best cover duos, Oakland’s top two picks from the 2005 draft will likely be relegated to the bench.

Routt, the second-round pick in ’05, moved past first-rounder Washington as the starter last season. Routt is better suited to playing nickel back, possibly making Washington the more likely candidate to be traded.

The Raiders have been very active during the free-agency season after winning just four games last season and a league-low 19 the previous five years.

Hall, 24, has the skills to be an elite corner, but tends to lose focus and control of his temper. He can be beat deep. The Raiders may be kicking themselves shortly for not giving this money to Nnamdi Asomugha, a far superior all-around player. Asomugha isn't one to complain, but this likely won't go over well with him. More on DeAngelo Hall

Oakland has signed defensive tackles Tommy Kelly and William Joseph, receivers Javon Walker and Drew Carter, safety Gibril Wilson, offensive linemen Kwame Harris and Cornell Green to deals that could be worth more than $160 million.

The Raiders also placed the exclusive franchise tag on Asomugha, guaranteeing him about $10 million next season, and re-signed running back Justin Fargas to a $12 million, three-year contract that guarantees him $6 million.

Hall was a first-round pick in 2004 and two-time Pro Bowl selection, but he is nearly as well known for his outspoken demeanor. He clashed openly with former Falcons coach Bobby Petrino last season and was benched for a half after a sideline confrontation.
