Ant15fromNJ Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I think we should trade Betts becuase Portis and him are very similar except that Betts catches better but Portis blocks better. Sellers could get more carries and Portis and that would be a true thunder and lightning attack. Betts had an amazing 2006 and people didnt forget that and maybe get a decent draft pick and build though the draft. I say trade him not because he isnt good or anything like that its just business and we need to bust up other postions. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankRizzo Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 we missed our window to trade him for anything worthwhile. I think the most we'd get is a 3rd at best right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertWrestler Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 He's worth more running and catching than he is in a trade. Betts is the type of player we need on our roster - not a salary cap hazard & plays very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangyMooseKnuckle Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 If they're as similiar as you say we would trade Portis, I'm not real familiar with his contract but it seems like that would be way better for the cap. Also in the WCO dont running plays kinda get stretched out like the running plays in denver????? I don't know that for sure but it sounds right, if so that seems to be more in the mold of CP. Plus Portis needs to stay because he's the gnarliest pass blocking back in the NFL brosef. Betts can't hold his jock when it comes to that.

waterwagen Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 But if we trade him, how would Betts be the next head coach? ProPigskinRumorMill2008.com said he was in the running, especially if he could get himself to a town small enough that it wouldn't show up for the Redskin One tracking thread.

spidernat Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'd take a 3rd for Betts. You'd be lucky to get a 5th for Betts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant15fromNJ Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Im only sayin keep portis becuase his speed is first class and that is very dangerous on the field. But some of you are talking about salary cap absolutly if that is a problem you got to go the other way and keep betts. Its just something to talk about that I think would help the team its nothing more than that I like Betts I would hate 2 see him go hes a true redskin and want to help us win and plays like it, its just a opinion.

PlayAction Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 The Skins are moving to the WCO and you want to trade the RB with the best pass catching ability? Seems to me you would be getting rid of a player who is well suited to the WCO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celts32 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Betts is one of the only players on the team who actually signed a cap friendly contract...he's the last person we should trade. We need more players who actually play up to the value of their deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'd take a 3rd for Betts. I would to as long as we re-signed Rock and Mason shows something in camp again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herb mul-key Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I was not impressed with Betts in 07....he needs to show something or we need to go another direction no doubt...I think Marcus Mason would have given us more production or Rock...Ladell doesn't play hungry enough...terrible terrible blocker... we need a Grant or Bradshaw...young and hungry.

S.T.real,lights,out Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I think we need a HC before we can start trading players. Wait..... do you think Danny would be able to do this for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvisit1 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Betts is a nice compliment to Portis who carries most of the load. If we traded Betts, who do you suppose would take the snaps while Portis was resting? And you can't say Sellers. When he's not carrying on short yardage situations, he's lead blocking for Portis. He's too big to play all of those downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 we missed our window to trade him for anything worthwhile. I think the most we'd get is a 3rd at best right now. LOL a third. No chance We would be lucky to get a 5th or 6th for him. He had a terrible year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan4ever Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 we missed our window to trade him for anything worthwhile. I think the most we'd get is a 3rd at best right now. Thats what I was thinking also.He was worth alot more after the '06 season.They might as well keep him now in case Portis gets injured again next year.
