I dont think its a bad deal. WE get a stellar athlete with great upside and work ethic, and we get a 3rd round pick in the deal to draft a DT/DE/RB.

Just imagine Calvin Johnson to one side, Santana Moss to the other, and Antwaan Ranldle El working the slot. This move could accelerate the growth of Jason Campbell. The 3rd round pick is up for grabs too.

If this went down I'd always think that we should go with what we need, but taking a player like Calvin Johnson, I would not be mad at that!

the one consistent all offseason though has been Gibbs praising Betts and talking about the split carries between Portis and Betts would become a lot more even than the last couple seasons so I just don't see Betts being traded at all. I like CJ but the running game has been the only consistent this team has had the last few seasons and will be fun to watch the 2 headed beast being even better this season.
