It would be a crime if Betts were traded. He remains loyal after a career season, and then we give him the shaft.

That said, we would have to trade him if we had "an offer we couldn't refuse". But, Vilma and 1st round swaps is definitely a deal to refuse.

I also think that RBs are relatively easy to come by, and it doesn't make sense to keep a backup when you can get a starter to fill a need. A 2nd or 3rd round pick could produce a back with more talent than Betts. Let's not forget, CP was a 2nd rounder.

If there are other teams interested in Betts, then that is how we could get the best value. Also, we MUST keep our #6 pick, unless we can trade it down for more picks -- not players (that is how we got lost our picks to begin with).

So, if we can get Vilma for Betts without losing our #6 pick, then we'd be stupid not to.
