Stew Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 They need to give up A 2ND and 3RD round picks to make this even. 2nd and 4th is what i was thinkin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoaster Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Whats the age difference between Bly and Betts??? Anybody?? About two and a half years. Betts is 27 and Bly is about to turn 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJ Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Email I received from JLC asking if he'd heard anything about the Betts for Bly Adam Shefter talk. K JLC responded: that's not exactly what he said, i don't think. Like I've written, the Broncos and Jets have tried to get Betts, but were told no. Broncos might ask for him again, but the Skins want extra draft picks, too, I did hear tonight that even after signing Henry the Broncos still really like Betts, but I don't see this happening without more picks involved, but who knows.

Maybe we end up with Henry.... this could get wild. Im speculating though.... :doh: Betts and Springs for Bly, Henry, and Denvers 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter23 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Adam Schefter is a Broncos stooge. Tell him to take that trade and shove it up his ass. I was going to say, "uhh, no thanks" but I think Parlett did a better job of conveying my feelings on the matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoaster Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 ladells betts is worth 2 1st's in denver...he would make the probowl for years to come... Now I don't think he is worth that much. Although I think the Bears are dumb for making the trade, Thomas Jones, who has run for over 3500 yards and 22 TDs in the last three years, was just traded along with a second round pick for a higher second round pick. Betts is a year younger and did play great last year, but I would rather have Jones and he just helped the Bears move up in the second round. It is a buyers market for RBs.

Hiro Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 What the heck do we need Bly for? Unless we plan on cutting Springs, we shouldn't even be looking at Bly. I agree with the notion that he's an older, and more expensive version of Smoot, and wouldn't be what we'd need in order to replace Springs. Plus it'd make our organization look HORRIBLE to simply trade away a player that took a smaller contract to stay as a REDSKIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor 21 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 What makes you think that Betts would be a pro-bowler anywhere?He's had one good year and one year that he's been healthy all 16 games. Because the Broncos can make any RB a pro-bowler... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smell a promotion for Rock, and more of a work load for Sellers as well.

HailfrmDEN Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Ok, everybody knows Springs will not be playing the whole next season. he will most likely get hurt. I love betts and his contract is good, but he did cost us three games last season. So what other than betts cost us the rest. Weak secondary. We have good rbs, betts better than others. Smoot Bly Rogers taylor prioleau. Then we trade down get okeye(sp) and a guard in the second or third. But you know we will give away next years draft for a second. Move on up Memo!!

HEavyJumbo85 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Betts took far less money to resign with us than what he could have made in the open market. It would be absolutely foolish for us to trade him, just for the sake of our imagine in and around Redskin Park. No player will ever trust us again. Yeah this has no basis of fact. Denver already has filled their need at RB and Bly for Springs would make the most sense and I'm not even sure I'd do that without them forking over extra draft choices. And like it was said, we can't stab a guy who took a hometown discount to be our backup in the back. He's a Redskin, Gibbs loves him and would never let him be traded.

Clinton Has Bad Shoulders, He Can Not Go Through A Whole Season Again Taking All Of The Hits. unless you pick up a good cover corner in Bly and plan on drafting Betts replacment in Adrian Peterson. Betts had a good 5 games to end the season but he had plenty of oppurtunities before then to impress and wasnt able to do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kentuckyskinsfan Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 You are right Stew, but they will use Sellers as a blocking tightend/catch a few, and Rock has a good heart, but Betts can pound the ball better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 NOresigning betts showed we take care of our own. It looks horrible to resign someone and then trade them. Besides, we need Betts more than we need Bly. Betts will never be worth more on the market(to the Redskins at least), then he is right now. Selling now would be the most profitable thing for us to do. Moral... well now, you're gonna have to take that up with someone else. Im actually all for this as long as the compensation is right. We need a draft pick as well for this to come out ok. Nothing lower then a third really. I like Betts, but if we can come out on top in this trade, then he's gonna have to be a sacrifice for the better of the team. We can get another runningback. We have other capable runningbacks. I think Rock can produce what Betts produced last year for us, only with less fumbles. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilclarke Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Who's to say that Betts wouldn't want to be traded to Denver? If this happens, he more than likely becomes their starting RB and wouldn't have to play 2nd fiddle to Portis in DC... As long as Clinton is here, LB will always be his back-up.
