If Chargers can get a 1st & 3rd for Turner, don't we have to shop Betts?

If that's the case, shouldn't the Skins FO be shopping Betts? He's not an every down back for the season (injuries) and he does seem to fumble at times. With his contract, I would think the Skins could get a 1st and a 3rd for him too.

I've been saying this for the last few weeks now. Every since I started the forum on the Jets trying to trade us J Vilma, I have been an advocate of dealing him to acquire more picks for out first day of the draft.

Even now that Mike Turner is looking like he is going to Buffalo, the RB market is scarce leading up to the draft. Teams are looking to tighten up on that position, and we are looking for more drafted talent, while possesing a limited supply of first day picks, or total draft day picks as a whole.

For the love of William Shattner's acting, shop him now while his value is high, and before the league figures out that he is injury prone and can't hold on to the ball!!! Get a 3rd round draft pick at lleast, and then have an oppourtiniity to draft young, inexpensive talent for our team at any position we'd deem fit, at that time in the draft.

Focker Out!

If/When he stays, you will be reminded on draft day of players that we could have had, but we will be crooning at the fact that we were afraid to position for that talent.

We will be perpetually kicking ourselves in the backsides, if we do not trade him now while his value is high.

Plus....

We have 1 1st day pick!!!

Nuff SAid

We will be perpetually kicking ourselves in the backside if we trade Betts and something happens to Portis again. Or if that did happen, maybe you would like to see another TJ Duckett trade for one of the draft picks of which you speak. Or maybe you'd like to see Rock Cartwright as our primary ball carrier with Portis injured and Betts traded. A trade of Ladell Betts at this particular time makes absolutely no sense at all.
