The contract apparently will guarantee him $5.5 million plus a $3.5 million signing bonus. Betts, who could have been a free agent at season's end, will continue backing up Clinton Portis, though he hopes for an expanded role. "From my understanding from my conversations with the coach and everybody else within the organization, my role will be a large role going here forward," he said. "It won't be carrying the full load, but I'll have to carry the ball and play my part in this offense and that's something I've had no problem doing over the last couple of years. And I believe the Redskins stepped to the plate and gave me an offer I felt comfortable with."

September 9, 2006
Ladell Betts is still slated to start on Monday night, but Clinton Portis has been upgraded to probable and could play. Given recent developments, it wouldn't be a surprise if Portis out-played Betts, so fantasy owners have a tough Week 1 decision to make.

September 8, 2006

September 6, 2006
If Clinton Portis is unable to go in the regular-season opener, Ladell Betts will start at running back for the Redskins, according to the AP. Betts is talented enough to produce, but recent acquisition T.J. Duckett could end up the goal-line option.

Ladell Betts was held out of the Redskins' preseason opener to rest a tight hamstring, according to the Washington Post. His value took a huge boost, though, because starting running back Clinton Portis partially dislocated a shoulder in the game. The injury will sideline Portis for the rest of the preseason. Betts should see the bulk of action in the backfield if Portis were to miss any regular-season action.
