Is there ever a bottom to Mr. Synder's pocket? .. Good news.

Re: Ladell Betts contract extension
 

[QUOTE=12thMan;257508]Yeah but the term 'back-up' means different things for different teams. Some will go off the deep end and say that's too much, but if he's a starter somewhere else, will he get that kind of money? Probably so.[/QUOTE]

Remember though that this summer Saunders said he envisioned using Portis and Betts together on the field a lot. I'm sure he's got a bunch of tricks up his sleeve for the two of them in 2007

Provided that Saunders is still here, you can 'Betts' your bottom dollar on some good things from these two next year.

Yeah right, like we all thought last year.. Blah, blah, blah...

What the team needs is a nice BBQ with family, team, and coaches so they can all get over their presonal issues with each other...

Maybe they should all be forced to spend Christmas together....

I hope so. And I hope Saunders stays too.

I think this signing is a great move, more for the signal that it sends than anything else. Aside from Samuels and Jansen, we haven't kept any of our drafted players. Betts gets it, he works hard, and he seems to appreciate being a Redskin. I'm glad the Skins finally showed their appreciation to one of their own.

Don't forget Rock

Re: Ladell Betts contract extension
 

I like that Betts will be staying. I look for a big game on sunday.
Now lets re-sign Dock!

Re: Ladell Betts contract extension

Re: Ladell Betts contract extension
 

I really applaud the move, and I hope we'll move to re-sign some other guys too by the end of the season like Dockery.

Rumors are that Betts will get a bonus of about $6M or $7M.

Ditto. I'm worried that Dock wants to test the market. What do you guys think he's worth? I think he'll want a 10mil + signing bonus.
Wish we could give him AA's contract & send AA back out west somewhere.

Re: Ladell Betts contract extension
 

why don't we just move AA to Guard when Dockery leaves, that move might be the one that puts us over the top.

Re: Ladell Betts contract extension
 

Im glad we stayed in house. To me Betts has been one of our core guys, even though he doesn't start. Im happy we signed him, he earned it

I think Dockery will come at a fair price.

I have to admit I was down on him earlier but in recent weeks he's played very well and most of all I'd like to see us reward our own guys for once.

Re: Ladell Betts contract extension
 

to me, line consistency is very valuable in todays nfl. i hope dockery stays
