excerpt:

The Jets have tried to acquire Redskins running back Ladell Betts in a trade but a potential deal fell through, according to someone with knowledge of the discussions between the teams. The person requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of trade talks.

I would like to know what the proposed deal was. And it looks like Thomas Jones might be in more demand now.

Betts is a young RB with growing talent, but the Jets got Jones now, which should be a great fit.

T Jones is a great fit, especially with a line that will be getting better and better with Mangold and DaBrick.

Im not that crazy about Betts. Ive only seen him, play once and that was the first Cowboys/Skins game. He had a decnt stat game, but got PWNED on almost every short yardage play. He just went soft in the tough situations.
