Should we deal Ladell Betts???

Any player is tradable if you get great value. I mean we would entertain offers for JC if someone offered 10 picks or something crazy like that.

But once a player is re-signed, unless the contract is specifically structured for an out, it usually means the team is sticking w/the player until his services are no longer needed & cut him. (Schneed, correct me if I'm wrong on the cap end of things)

That said, we re-signed Betts for a reason. He had a great 2006. He played as well as you could expect this year, he rarely even got a whole series to himself. I don't disagree w/the coaches on his pt, CP was healthy enough & needed to maintain a rythm. If you remember early in the year they tried to rotate the 2 a lot & it didn't work well, aside from the Miami game where we pounded them to death.

We'll need CP & Betts (I would bet any amount of $ that 1 of them misses at least 1 game in 08 due to injury) & we don't need to draft a rb even if Rock isn't here, given our other needs. Maybe if there's a gem player in the 4th or beyond, but even then I think we'll be looking for gems at other positions.
