Jets interested in Betts?

[superskins]

they won't let him go because he is awsome on special teams and works really hard

[Carnage]

Why are'nt the Jets thinking Deuce Mcallister? No way he is a Saint next season.

Just wondering if anyone still thinks we should trade Ladell Betts?

Heck no! He's such a hard worker. Al Saunders said he's the next Preist Holmes and Mr. Gibbs LOVES him. He's such a great runner, especially in the red zone. In fact, I think he runs harder than Portis. And the coaches should start him over Portis because he doesn't talk bad about Mr. Gibbs.

I like Betts a lot. A first and a third will suffice.

Maybe for a top tier corner back and a second round pick

[redskinsfanatic]

if portis nees a reliable backup that is a powerhouse,why not sign stephen davis for this year?he has proven he can get the tough yards,and his worst problem has been his fumblitis the last few years in carolina.saunders had two great rbs in kc in johnson/holmes,and betts is good he is nowhere near the same level as a back as SD is!

Honestly i think Davis is gonna hang it up. He's getting older now and has been hurt too much since he's been a panther. I wouldn't turn him down if it was for the right price though.

before no, now with Springs ailing, yes i agree. for a top corner, yeah i think we could live without Betts until we drafted some new blood. Jets have any great corners?

[SmootSmack]

Well he's not great but clearly the Jets don't intend on keeping DB Derrick Strait. They just tried sending him to Cleveland for Lee Suggs

[illdefined]

he any good? how old? what string?

anything less than no.2 and i'd ask the Jets for a backup lineman too

Betts ain't going anywhere right now!

Extension for Betts?

Veteran running back Ladell Betts, who returned to practice from a hamstring injury yesterday, confirmed that preliminary discussions with the Redskins about a contract extension are under way. Betts, the primary backup for injured franchise running back Clinton Portis, is eligible for free agency in the offseason, and, despite believing he has the skills to be a starter in the NFL, is happy in Washington.
"I'm definitely open to staying here," said Betts, a second-round pick in 2002. "The Redskins were the first team to give me an opportunity to play NFL football, so I'm definitely willing to listen."
Betts recently switched agents, signing with Tony Agnone, and Coach Joe Gibbs said there has been some contact between Agnone and director of football administration Eric Schaffer.
"We like Ladell," Gibbs said. "We always want to sign all of our good football players."

Wouldn't suprise me if they something done before the season starts

It would be great to lock up Betts for a few more years.
