SI.com: Portis and Betts #3 RB Tandem in the league

I agree with Quake, what ignorant fool puts a team sporting DeShaun Foster and another team sporting Reuben Droughns on that list.

Also how can the clear cut no. 1, Tomlinson and Turner, not be on that list?

A person who thinks the Giants have a better backfield tandem than the Chargers doesnt watch much football.

I'll agree with you on Moss, Portis and possibly Cooley. Sean Taylor? I don't know. Remember he did sign a contract for a player drafted 10 to 15 spots below him. 7 years and 18 million was it? I think this guy will break the bank when his contract comes up. Either the 'Skins will pay it or some other team will. That's what has me a little nervous about ST.

If I were the skins, I'd be working on a contract extension with Taylor NOW. Pay the man!

I agree, not only Taylor but Cooley too...

That Guy · 03-15-2007, 07:53 AM

why? taylor is signed through 2011... ripping up cheap contracts on a cap strapped team is killer, and players don't offer to redo their contracts when they're paying poorly.

Daseal · 03-15-2007, 08:10 AM

Wow, I didn't realize we had him wrapped up that long. Regardless, I'd like to see us make him happy so he doesn't bolt the second FA hits in 2011.

7 years, 18mill for a #5 overall pick lol. its got incentives though that were never really disclosed, at least not fully.

It will be difficult with the amount of cash that is floating around this year to placate those already under contract with the influx of new deals with lesser talent for five times the loot!

It will be an interesting challenge

This is a great deal for us. I hope CP can have a major comeback "STATEMENT" year, he's do! I disagree with there number 3 ranking however. We are TOP TWO! CP and LB are gonna really compliment one another. Heck of a one,two punch!

I can see these two putting up an extreme amount of rushing yards this season, by themselves, and combined.
