Ladell Betts contract extension

[Gmanc711]

5 yrs, 11 Million?

Wow, thats pretty cheap if you ask me. It also shows Betts likes Washington and wants to stay with the team. It could say that despite the crappy season, this team might not be too bad to be around after all.

It is cheap.
He could have easily made more in the free agent market.

We probably convinced him that he was already a vital part of the offense as a backup, and that would continue if he stayed.
Plus, who wouldn't want to play in front of the best fans, and franchise in football?

Makes me cautiously optimistic about the team. Signing could say something about the optimism inside the locker room. Hopefully we'll rally around it, and come into next season with some swagger.

Hopefully the Bett's signing pays off. I agree with the general consensus that it's a great bang for the buck. He's a solid back, a true redskins... etc. THOSE are the kinds of players that deserve bigger contracts. Not AA, or some other huge name free agents. Gotta give the front office a nod on this one.
