Betts seems he is gonna test the market. I saw the same response when asked in camp from Champ, Smoot, now Betts see his leverage and I be suprised if we could talk him into building with us when a fortune that could provide his entire ffamilies future waits just on the other side.

I think it would be a huge setback for our offense loosing him to FA but who knows that open spot could emerge a spot for a new talent but the odds of getting and finding a guy who can step up like Betts is kinda slim.

Lumsden.
