It was reported that he got a 7mil bonus. How many back-up rb's get a 7 mil signing bonus? Not too many if any.

Yeah but the term 'back-up' means different things for different teams. Some will go off the deep end and say that's too much, but if he's a starter somewhere else, will he get that kind of money? Probably so.

Remember though that this summer Saunders said he envisioned using Portis and Betts together on the field a lot. I'm sure he's got a bunch of tricks up his sleeve for the two of them in 2007

Provided that Saunders is still here, you can 'Betts' your bottom dollar on some good things from these two 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....

I hope so. And I hope Saunders stays too.

I think this signing is a great move, more for the signal that it sends than anything else. Aside from Samuels and Jansen, we haven't kept any of our drafted players. Betts gets it, he works hard, and he seems to appreciate being a Redskin. I'm glad the Skins finally showed their appreciation to one of their own.

Saunders better stay or they may as well throw Jason Campbell's carreer in the shi*ter...he spent the last year switching from Gibbs offense to Saunders offense and now they would ask him to switch back and this after all the different offenses he had at Auburn. For better or worse they need to stick with this Saunders decision and make it work.
