Ladell Betts considered hitting the lucrative free-agent market in 2007, but he opted to go with the safe money of the Washington Redskins.

Betts, 28, signed a five-year extension Friday worth $11 million, but the key was in the early payout of the deal. He got $3.5 million in signing bonus money this year and a $2 million roster bonus in 2007. With half of the money going to him early, Betts figured it was the best of all worlds.

Interesting move for him to stay in Washington.. I guess he figured he isn't going to be a starter anywhere else anyway and will stick behind Portis. This move also probably sends Duckett to FA this year.

Betts could be starter anywhere in the league,however he prob never will, but hes on pace for a 1000 yrds this yr and thats with out many touches the first 4-5 games. This is a great thing for washington, I hope we cont to make wise choices.
