Betts is a great back up that i hope don't think will get traded. It takes 2 backs in the NFL now. Next season provided they both are healthy the Skins should have one of the premier running games in the NFL. It will also help the WR's. Look for Cooley to be the biggest benificial from this. (sucks that is his contract year)Another plus is that in Saunders system another year will help. We as fans will see positive changes as soon as the preseason. The bottom line is nobody should be bashing Portis and talking about trading Betts. They both will be there next year. We all should be thankful that we have a great backfield when some teams don't even have one quality RB.

And for the very reasons you state I don't see how anyone in their right mind would think there's any reason why the both of them will not return to continue perhaps the best RB duo we've had in a long time. The running game along with the OL was the best part of our team last year, no reason whatsoever to disrupt that.
