What about Sean Taylor, How long was his rookie contract?I think locking him up before he really blows up is more important than Dockery, Betts, and Cooley.I like Cooley as much as the next guy but if I had to choose between locking up him or Taylor first, I would pick Taylor in a heartbeat.

Sorry but if I'm Betts I want to test the market and look for a starting gig.
agree w/ matty. i mean if he accepts a reasonable deal then i'd certainly like to see him back. i think he has some opportunities somewhere.

The cap sheet says hes locked up through 2010, so it must have been a 7 year deal

in my opinion, dockery is much more valuable to the redskins. the longer an offensive line sticks together, the better they perform
I agree, runningbacks are a dime a dozen; RB is the easiest position to transition from college football. THat is why rookie RB's are usually the first to make a splash in the NFL. Betts has a ton of potential and not much else to show for it. Kind of like a WR and QB we recently got rid of.
Besides, I like this kid Jessie Lumsden from McMaster, at 6' 2" and 224 pounds; he brings size to compliment Portis. So far Lumsden has impressed me with great running instinct. Gibbs loves the guy. If he pans out, he could be #2 rb by end of season. Cartwright and Betts need to look in their rear view.
I do not want to overpay for a #2 RB that has not produced or proven he can stay healthy. I don't care how much potential he has. We have greater roster needs than paying big bucks for an injury prone #2.
