I'm talking to Trey Wingo about it right now!

Not crazy about that deal...if true

Re: Draft Day Trades: Jets Interested?!(from a primary source)

I like the trade of Ladell for Vilma, but not switching the picks without an additional pick. #6 for #25 doesn't match up. its not like we are getting Urlacher for Betts. It would be a pretty decent deal if we get a 2nd or 3rd with the trade.

Re: Draft Day Trades: Jets Interested?!(from a primary source)

The team's running back situation is in no position to consider trading anyone. I'm convinced today's NFL requires at least two quality running backs. Sixteen games at 25-30 carries a game is too much for one back, and last season was proof positive of the need. Cartwright is not the guy I would want to step in in the event Portis or Betts goes down, and it's not likely we could trade Duckett because he's about to enter FA. With the backs we have it dosen't make sense to trade one just to go look for a replacement.

I respectfully disagree. I know the two-back system is en vogue now because of teams like Indy and Chicago, but I don't think it's necessarily the answer for most teams. A lot of running backs don't produce when they get 10 carries a game. Betts himself said that it normally takes him about 15 snaps to get into a rhythm. Ladell Betts was not "Ladell Betts" until Portis went on IR - in fact he was in danger of getting cut two seasons ago.

Moreover, while I would love to have a backup running back who can step in and play like a Pro Bowler, you rarely get to eat your cake and eat it too. We have so many holes at other positions that I would welcome the opportunity to get a Pro Bowl defensive player (e.g., Vilma) in exchange for our backup RB. Unless Betts can play defense or Portis isn't expected to recover fully from his injuries, trading him would be a smart move.

Vilma was DROY in 2004 playing in the 4-3. I would do it if we got to keep the 6th pick. Ladell Betts is good but there are plenty of running backs out there who could replace him just as easily.

if we did trade Betts, there would be a possibility of keeping Duckett. I dont think he would want to stay, but he could be used very well with portis.

The Jets would have to give up their next pick as well before I would consider it.
