I agree that a lot of times money isn't the most important factor, but in the NFL it's rare to take SOO much less money without even testing the market. I really think portis helped influence betts on this one from the interviews i heard... yay portis - our future GM (taylor, moss, helped on betts - anyone else he was bugging JG about?).
Or Dockery,L.Davis or Steinbach. I still can't believe the Cowboys paid Davis that much!

Green got what, $23M for 4 years?

Betts could have easily gotten over $30M.

Give some credit to this front office for locking up Betts with such a cheap deal.

Let us not forget how many times he fumbled - 5 times, in 6 weeks!!!! He's not worth 30mil.

Without a doubt. I was really suprised when we locked him up.

Re: What would Betts get on the open market today?

Is Betts looking for a building to jump off this morning, or putting a bullet in his agent? WTF is up with that?

Sheriff pointed out how out of whack contracts are now. Players on all teams are going to be angling for new contracts after this market.

Re: What would Betts get on the open market today?

you know this reminds me of the last couple of years in the NBA. A decent player who can contribute getting big contracts because there aren't that many decent players out there. Etan Thomas getting that big deal, chris Kamen (spelling?) got a big deal and he doesnt do a whole lot. These guys (guards, tackles) are starting to get some recognition for being pieces that are not interchangeable. They are starting to be "the needed" guys to make the team run like a smooth oiled machine. Hey, no matter how good your RB's and QB's are, if there aren't holes to run through, or your on your ass all the time, the team will not win games. and the guys in the trenches are finally getting some just due!

Re: What would Betts get on the open market today?

I saw this in an NFL.com mock draft article and thought it was kind of interesting...
Quote:
8. Houston: Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma -- There is still a chance the Texans trade for a running back -- maybe a Ladell Betts -- but if they don't, Peterson is the class of the running backs in the draft. If Houston trades for a runner or signs one in free agency, then Penn State tackle Levi Brown is a smart choice.
What would we ask for in return?

*I don't know if this was written before or after the Texans got Green.

Re: What would Betts get on the open market today?

I'm not convinced that this is as much about Betts' loyalty as it is his agent screwing up (why would you not at least test the waters, even if you were going to resign with the Skins) but you have to commend our front office for getting this one done.

I wonder how Chief Chucking My Spear feels about this one?

Well all I can say is thank god Betts is a "Core Redskin" and signed the deal with us, instead of hitting FA.

Re: What would Betts get on the open market today?

i think it was a great move one of the very few this team has done lately. Too bad they didnt think about getting dock sign before he hit FA. Maybe they could have paid dock if they didnt waste 10 on AA or 10 on carter or 10 on randle el or 10 on the great lloyd. Matty you just kill me lol.
