Do You think Betts is Expendable?

Portis #1 back, Sellers as FB, Keep Cartwright as #2 back, and let Alridge and Mason compete for the #3 back position. Dorsey or #3 back competition loser could compete for special teams or be practice squad. Trade Betts for a starter quality LB. Saints only have 2 backs. Maybe they would be interested in a trade for Betts or another team. Betts is a good back but not a change of pace back for Portis. Maybe Alridge or Mason who are quick slash type runners can compete as the #2 back even.

While I disagree with Cartwright being the #2 back (he may not even make the roster this year) I agree with shopping Betts for a starting quality LB. I think we could make a play for Edge James to pair with Portis and see what we have with Aldridge/Dorsey/Mason.

I've never really gotten the fascination with Betts. He's okay as a RB but doesn't do anything impressive. There's not any aspect of his game that stands out.
