Re: Ladell Betts contract extension

Betts is having a better year this season than Jordan ever had before bolting for Oaktown.
So, Betts leaves and we're gonna find a quality, reliable RB2 who's a "True Redskin" like Joe needs, understands the offense, and is liked and respected by his teammates, for less than what we paid Betts?
