Which is what the Redskins told SA when they signed him. I swear, people here like to find controversy and complaints where there is none. This whole thread will become irrelevant when Betts returns and when SA gets cut. I would have understood any complaints if SA got a 2 or 3 yr deal above the vet minimum. But he didn't get that, and no one was expecting him to have great numbers. His job is to carry the ball, keep it secure, and gain a few yards while Portis rests. That's it. He's not replacing Betts or Cartwright, he's just a cheap (unlike TJ Duckett) stop gap solution until Betts gets back.
