Broncos have asked for Ladell Betts in exchange for Dre' Bly. - The Orange Mane

HEAV · 03-06-2007, 07:39 PM

NFL Network's Adam Shefter reports that the Broncos have asked for Ladell Betts in exchange for Dre' Bly.

The Broncos are also reportedly talking to the Saints. Other reports say Denver is interested in Washington's first-round pick.

What sense would it make to trade for Betts when we just signed Henry to a fairly large deal? Maybe they asked for him before the Henry signing.

Dukes · 03-06-2007, 07:42 PM

I dont understand the desire for another RB, but i'm not working at Dove Valley so..........

theAPAOps5 · 03-06-2007, 07:42 PM

This just smacks of Shanny spin. Put out as much info as you can and lay a smoke screen for your moves.

12th man · 03-06-2007, 07:43 PM

Why? we just signed Henry. Is Bettes better than Henry? I have got to be honest. I don't know much about bettes skills.

nickademus · 03-06-2007, 07:46 PM

I could see us positioning for next years draft which should have some great backs available.

elsid13 · 03-06-2007, 07:48 PM

Betts is a solid runner, and has shown some flashes. There must be another team involved to ask for another RB. Three way trade. Unless they are releasing Mike Bell, which I don't see happen because of success he had and the low cost of his contract.

RunSilentRunDeep · 03-06-2007, 07:50 PM

Betts is good, clearly outplayed Portis last year. Was a real fool and signed a five-year extension for a little under $12M before the season ended. Despite that, I'm very comfortable with Mike Bell being the backup.

Hercules Rockefeller · 03-06-2007, 07:52 PM

You guys are assuming Shanahan asked for Betts within the last 24 hours, more likely he asked for Betts before Henry came to an agreement, and they no longer have any interest in LB.

atomicbloke · 03-06-2007, 07:53 PM

Maybe Shanny wants to trade Dre Bly for Ladell Betts.

And then trade Travis Henry to the Titans for Pacman Jones.

SonOfLe-loLang · 03-06-2007, 07:55 PM

yeah, this clearly clearly will never happen

Dagmar · 03-06-2007, 08:03 PM

This makes very little sense.

IF Bell is backup.

What's up with the Betts thing anyway...and Dre' Bly KNOWS that ball is coming his way...why wouldn't you want to be on a team with Bailey on the other side....

Mabye he's scared.

davidtkd · 03-06-2007, 08:16 PM

ugh, this is making my head hurt.

Rascal · 03-06-2007, 08:19 PM

This had better of been before we landed Henry. If we do that move now I'm going to be pissed.

There is absolutely no reason to do this move.

Cito Pelon · 03-06-2007, 08:19 PM

If Bly wants out of Denver that bad, and Wash wants him that bad, Denver get more than Betts for him, a lot more.

A future first perhaps?

SoCalBronco · 03-06-2007, 09:07 PM

It would make about as much sense as trading Bly for Jason Campbell.

cutthemdown · 03-06-2007, 09:08 PM

how about skins 1st and betts, for bly and our first

footstepsfrom#27 · 03-06-2007, 09:13 PM

If he's determined he wants to play in Washington ship him to the Skins along with the #21 for the #6. The trade then becomes Bell, who we've replaced anyway, plus Foster who was going to get cut for moving up 15 spots in the first round...in other words a free move.

Rock Chalk · 03-06-2007, 09:28 PM

Im selling on the whole idea.

Im selling that Schefter is right.

Im selling that we would ask for a straight up trade between the two.

Im selling that this was ever even brought up.

No disrespect to Schefter on this one, but the conecept of Bly for Betts straight across does not meet two requirements: 1) We dont rape Snyder. 2) Not even Matt Millen is that ****ing stupid.

Finger Roll · 03-06-2007, 09:34 PM

what's so special about Ledell Betts anyway? Seems pretty average to me.
