I guess Wilson and Labanc didn't get that memo.

Again, see Labanc, Kevin. His agent sure screwed up last year, eh?
An agent's goal is to fulfill their client's wishes.
Hall could come out of this with an 8x8. Or an 8x6. Or a 7x7. He's probably bought insurance to protect him if it's less than that. I'm not sure what the best long term offer was on the table for Hall this year, but IMO he's very likely to get it again next year. He was never going to get a 1x8 on the back side of the deal.
The reason guys don't do this more often is that the big-ass long term deals are actually there for them. It seems they probably weren't for Hall this year.
