I meant that while Betts is older, Portis has way more mileage.

Either way, Portis will give us a major ground threat for the next two years or so, and Betts gives us a nice follow-up punch.

I still say that if somebody comes along and knocks our socks off with an offer for Betts, we should take it. Guys that can fill Betts' role can be found just about anywhere.
