Indianapolis — Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall said Friday his chances of ever playing for the team again are "slim to none."

The loquacious, two-time Pro Bowl player capped an 11-minute, impromptu news conference in a hallway of the Indianapolis Convention Center with those three words; a signoff to what could signal an end to his four-year tenure with the Falcons.

"I don't want to stay there," said Hall, one of several current players attending the NFL combine. "I would go anywhere who wants me. That's the thing. It's hard to play for or be part of an organization that doesn't want you. I just want to go somewhere where I'm wanted."

Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff declined comment.

Hall said he felt "betrayed" and that "these guys kind of stabbed me in the back," by saying they wanted to retain him while engaging in trade conversations.

"It's not a situation where I'm out here trying to request a trade," Hall said. "That is not the case. The case is these guys are out here trying to trade me. That's what it comes down to."

The Newark Star-Ledger reported Friday that the New York Giants might be willing to trade its first-round pick to acquire Hall. Officials from other teams and people with knowledge of preliminary trade talks said that Washington could have interest in trading for Hall.

Redskins vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato declined comment because Hall is under contract — for one more year — with the Falcons.

If Hall were dealt, it would take at least a first-round pick and possibly more, two Falcons officials said.

Besides acquiring draft picks or other compensation, the Falcons could be considering a trade because after next season, Hall could become an unrestricted free agent, and the Falcons would lose him for nothing.

Dimitroff said earlier this week that Hall makes the team better. Coach Mike Smith has said he wants Hall to remain with the team.

"Maybe that's a sign that they don't want to be good, if they're saying I make the team better when I'm on it, and they're trying to move me and trade me," Hall said.

While Hall is considered one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL, his occasional outbursts have contributed to the Falcons' reluctance to extend his contract and could make interested teams leery.

"I don't think I'm any more outspoken than hundreds of other guys in the NFL," Hall said. "I think I'm put under a magnifying glass because I'm in a situation that involves me right now. Everything I've ever done and I'm doing or have done in the past is put on a pedestal and looked with under a magnifying glass.

"I don't think anybody can say that I'm a bad guy. For some reason those questions have been brought up. I'm out here to kind of defend myself."

Hall, who is owed $4.2 million next season, said his desire to leave the Falcons is not about money. He did want to have his contract extended, but he said that he recently told the Falcons that he would play out his final year if the team promised not to apply the franchise tag following the season.

That tag would limit Hall's ability to negotiate with other teams should he become a free agent. Hall said the team declined. He said that any team interested in acquiring him would not have to re-do his contract before a trade is consummated.
