The New Orleans Saints sign Ladell Betts
The Saints have signed 30-year old RB Ladell Betts to a 1-year, $805,000 dollar deal. Betts played in 10 games (2 starts) for the Redskins last season in which he carried the ball 56 times for 210 yards (3.8 ypc) with 2 TD runs and he also caught 17 passes for 179 yards (10.5 avg). Betts has now played in 103 games (13 starts) in his 8 years in the NFL and he has carried the ball 776 times for 3,176 yards (4.1 ypc) with 13 TD runs. He has also caught 165 passes for 1,505 yards (9.1 avg) with 3 TD grabs. This was a great signing for the Saints as Betts gives them a solid #3 back behind Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush.
