As long as we see Clinton on 3rd downs next year, I'm satified.
Show me Sellers on third down. I don't care if he's lead blocking for Clinton or pulverizing dudes while coincidentally holding onto the football, just show me the Walla Walla and take it to the promised land!

About time we keep one of our own instead of overpaying for some other teams players. Gibbs should have stayed with Betts and kept Bailey and our second rounder we gave away.

as we have stated numerous times, betts was injured most of his earlier years and couldnt have played many games
keeping bailey was not an option, he wanted out and if we kept him he would have been a bad team player

Wow, this actually seems like a reasonable deal for the Skins. Wonder how Snyder screwed that up? Could it be the beginning of a new era? The "market value" era?
Glad to hear Betts is sticking around. Taking the burden of Portis should let him do what he needs to do on the field without feeling like he has to carry the entire offense on his back.

Very impressed if this is the deal. A contract that makes sense and while I'm not a huge Betts fan he is certainly worth this money.
My feelings exactly.

I wasn't a huge fan till he started actually running at people on occasion. Prior to getting the start lately, he always seemed confused when he hit the line. Hopefully something has "clicked" for him and he'll still be able to make big contributions next year.

Yeah right, like we all thought last year.. Blah, blah, blah...
What the team needs is a nice BBQ with family, team, and coaches so they can all get over their presonal issues with each other...
Maybe they should all be forced to spend Christmas together....
God If they Did That it could get ugly after the presents are open It gets boring very Quicky...Just have CNN on standby....

i know this is not what anyone wants to hear but i think this is the beginning of another overhaul. dont get mad but portis out for picks or a trade for byron leftwich and campbell sits..... i hope not but i feel it coming
Are you serious??? Portis for Leftwich? Campell sits? What are you smoking?? I know the Skins have done some cockeyed moves over the years, but I say .... Step away from the pipe!!!:doh:

Yes, I think that the Betts signing gives them the flexibility to trade Portis for a quarterback, if they decide that Campbell has failed his trial run by the end of the year. You could go with a Betts-Duckett combination. If Campbell passes, then Duckett is out.
