Franklin signed on with the Redskins last week.

In 2016, Franklin appeared in all 16 games for the Chargers and was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 66 guard out of 72 qualifying players.

Hall, 33, is a former first-round pick of the Falcons back in 2004. After four years in Atlanta, Hall joined the Redskins for the 2008 season and has spent the past nine years in Washington.

Hall was in the final year of his four-year, $17 million contract that includes $5.4 million guaranteed and set to make a base salary of $4.25 million for the 2017 season when he agreed to a pay cut another pay at the start of the season.
