I don't know that a team would trade for Betts at this point. I mean, if he's available right now, there's a good chance you're going to cut him, so why would any team give compensation to the Skins to get him.

I don't see Betts being a guy who would garner more than, "we'll make a run if he becomes a free agent, but we're not giving up picks/a player for him." Unless, of course you were trading for another player who was about to get cut. Sort of like the Taylor Jacobs for Mike Rumph deal a little while ago. (Before people react, I believe Betts and Taylor are not comparable, Betts is a contributor and far better, just saying that the trade scenarios would be similar).
