Should we deal Ladell Betts???

Assuming we could get a 2nd rounder, I'd support trading Betts and using the 2nd rounder to draft a starter or a backup at a more important position (e.g., OT, DT, DE).

I think finding a backup for Portis wouldn't be hard. Like I said Marcus Mason showed great promise this preseason I think he could take Betts place because I feel Rock is done he wants to start somewhere other than special teams. Then you have plenty of quality backups coming out of the draft. Like SGG said what value do we lose by trading him.
