I think you're right that this is more about Betts than Portis. I think after last season, Gibbs saw what happened when Patten and Thrash were both out and he was down to Farris and Jacobs lining up with Moss. So he went out and added both El and Lloyd to ensure he had depth. I think this summer he saw Portis get hurt looked down the bench and saw Betts and thought "If Bro Sweets goes down at any point can I count on this guy?" And I think his answer was, at best, "I'm not sure." They got by with those injuries last year and through sheer will got to the divisional playoffs.

But this year isn't about getting by or just making it to the playoffs, it's about winning the whole thing. So he had to be proactive and make a move now

Gibbs has the best insurance company in the league SNYDER. Is this a slap in the face to teams not picking up the phone or is it subliminal to these players to want to come to DC where they are HOT FIRE. HOT FIRE.

Stevie Wonder tried to sign me, I said Stevie you dont even have a record label to sign me, so Dan Syder signed me.
