I've said it before, it's just my opinion, Ladell could start in this league but I think he's more of 1,000 to 1100 yd type of back. He won't fetch Clinton Portis type money in any event.

If I were the Skins I'd try to treat Betts like we did Lemar Marshall. Marshall got 3 years, $2.2 million from us. That deal was struck a few years ago, and the cap has gone up since then, so I'd figure an offer of $3 million for 3 years would make a lot of sense to start discussions.

I don't think there's any way Betts would take that, because I think other teams are a lot more aware of his skills than they were of Lemar Marshall.

In the end if I were the Skins, I'd agree to give Betts $9 million over 4 years, and that would probably be fair value. If he's asking for $5 million per season or something, then let him go. RBs can be replaced.
