Re: Why did we trade for duckett?
why not have him in on short yardage? less beating for portis, and duckett ,in my opinion, is a way better option than betts

Re: Why did we trade for duckett?
Right now, the trade seems a little strange. Maybe its for a backup role next year.
As far as goal line-short yardage situations I would rather have our #1 guy in there, CP. He's a pretty good shortyardage back the last time i checked. |

Re: Why did we trade for duckett?
They'll probably re-work Portis in the offseason or give him a new contract altogether.

 But really, I can't see Clinton going anywhere. They'll get something worked out. As for TJ, he's also in the last year of his contract, if memory serves me correctly, so I agree...what was the point? Is he gonna replace Betts? He is far better than Ladell Betts. (Who I think may actually be made of glass). But not having used TJ thusfar just seems odd to me. I think he could be well served as a short yardage back, I also think he's easily the second best running back the Skins have on their roster. So, all that said, I thought he was acquired to replace Betts...I still think he should. |

Re: Why did we trade for duckett?
After our stretch run last year and last week's explosive performance, is there any doubt who the face of this franchise is now?
Gibbs LOVES him some Portis. He's not going anywhere. |

Re: Why did we trade for duckett?
We traded for him because he is a horse who can run over everyone....we just do not need him when portis can run around the Texans with ease.

Re: Why did we trade for duckett?
They won't have to do anything to keep him happy. All they have to do is pay him according to his contract, which can easily be done within the cap if you just do a simple renegotiation converting roster bonus to signing bonus. Keeps his cap figure low and gets him the money due to him.

Re: Why did we trade for duckett?
a big contract isn't an instant ticket out of town unless you can't live up to it (ie arrington). they're keeping wynn as a 4mill$/year BACKUP. brunell will be gone way before portis... the only reason portis would go is if we had edge or LT under contract.
If we drafted more, keeping studs wouldn't be as big of an issue. |

Setting up to use Betts as trade bait for the next off season.

Re: Why did we trade for duckett?
i thought we already established that betts has NO trade value.
