Lelie a Falcon, Duckett a Redskin

Al Bundy · 07:49 PM

ESPN News is reporting that Lelie is a Falcon and the skins get Duckett while the Donk's get a draft pick. I will link it when it comes up.

Why in the world would the Redskins need TJ Duckett when they have Portis, Betts, and Cartwright?

Portis' shoulder must be worse then they've let on.

I'm not sure there was talk of the Falcons moving Duckett earlier this week to the Eagles.

Spicy McHaggis · 08-22-2006, 07:37 PM

Interesting. The Finneran loss must have bothered them more than they let on. That and it looks like Jerious Norwood has made TJ very expendable.

Does Duckett get a new deal or is he still a FA at the end of the year?

Al Bundy · 08-22-2006, 07:38 PM

So far I havent seen anything about a new deal for him.

One of the reasons the Donks lead the division: they keep creating a surplus of draft picks while the Chiefs habitually give theirs away.

Yea, they turn their bust first round picks into draft picks, while we just keep ours on the roster.

Yeah, they turned their former #1 pick into a third. Good for them. Of course I wouldn't have a problem turning a former #1 on the Chiefs into a draft pick. I'm not saying who I'm referring to but his name rhymes with Syan Rims.

I was going to make some wisecrack about them turning a #1 into a #3. But then I remembered Ryan Sims.

Duckett provides the Skins with a nice change up and a brutal runner.

For them, very nice move. Duckett has been held back by the unwillingness of Atlanta to commit to a single HB....

They already have Ladell Betts, who is basically a poor man's Duckett.

With Betts and Cartwright behind Portis, I'd think RB was the last thing they needed to be dealing picks for.

They had a chance to upgrade and they took advantage of it.

Can't blame them for that.

They certainly overpaid for him, in my opinion. A 3rd and and 4th to the Broncos OR if the Skins finish with a worse record than the Broncos the two teams swap 1st rounders. That could potentially be a huge price for Duckett if the Skins for some reason go in the tank....

Wow. That's a ****ing insane price.

The idiotic skins front office......
Why can't they get ripped off by someone other than Denver?

The Skins better not suck this year, the last thing we need is Denver to get another high first rounder.
