PJ Hall played in all 16 games last year with 551 snaps. He was solid as a run defender but didn’t offer anything to the pass rush, only accumulating 1.5 sacks and 23 pressures, according to PFF.com. Hall’s work ethic and a problem with keeping his weight were important issues from the coaching staff. Now he finds himself looking for work in a harsh climate.
